EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lithograph from the 19th century showcases Conway Castle and Tubular Bridge, a magnificent sight that transports viewers back in time. The print, created by James Fagan in the 1850s, measures 15x29 cm and is now part of the Elton Collection at Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in Telford, Shropshire, UK. The artwork depicts Conwy Tubular Bridge with Conwy Castle standing proudly in the middle distance. In the background, a suspension road bridge can be seen while a steam locomotive and train occupy the right middle distance. The foreground features fishing boats peacefully floating on the river. Fagan's attention to detail brings this historical scene to life. The vibrant colours add depth and richness to every element captured within this composition. It is evident that Fagan was not only skilled as an artist but also knowledgeable about his subject matter. This print offers a glimpse into transportation history during this era. With its depiction of railways, trains, boats, and castles all coexisting harmoniously within one frame, it serves as a reminder of how different modes of transport shaped society during that time. As we admire this piece today, we are transported back to an age where steam locomotives ruled over iron bridges and castles stood tall against picturesque landscapes. This artwork is truly a testament to both Fagan's artistic talent and our enduring fascination with history.
