EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history as Lord Dalhousie lays the Corner-Stone of the Albert Bridge in Glasgow. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the grandeur and ceremonial nature of this construction event. The scene is filled with excitement and anticipation as Lord Dalhousie, accompanied by a distinguished party, takes center stage. Dressed in formal attire befitting his esteemed position, he symbolizes authority and leadership. The bridge itself stands proudly behind him, its architectural beauty already evident even at this early stage of construction. The atmosphere is electric with energy as onlookers gather to witness this historic occasion. The people of Glasgow are eager to see their city's landscape transformed by this magnificent structure that will connect communities and facilitate trade. The engraving not only highlights the significance of the ceremony but also serves as a visual record for future generations to appreciate. It was originally published in The Illustrated London News on June 18th, 1870, ensuring that readers across England were informed about this remarkable event taking place north of their borders. Today, we can marvel at this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection and imagine ourselves transported back to that momentous day when Lord Dalhousie laid the cornerstone of what would become one of Glasgow's most iconic bridges.
