EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "Constructing the Simplon Tunnel, a Team of Oxen bringing up a Boiler" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the monumental engineering feat that was underway. This remarkable print showcases an English School's illustration for The Illustrated London News, dated 1 April 1899. In this scene, we witness a team of powerful oxen diligently hauling a massive boiler up the rugged terrain surrounding the Simplon Tunnel construction site. The sheer determination and strength exhibited by these majestic animals is awe-inspiring as they navigate through challenging conditions to support this ambitious project. The Simplon Tunnel itself holds great historical significance as it connects Italy and France, serving as a vital link between these two European nations. Its construction marked an important milestone in transportation infrastructure during that era. This engraving not only captures the arduous labor involved in tunnelling but also highlights the collaboration between different countries and cultures. With references to French and Italian flags, it symbolizes unity within Europe at large. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of progress and innovation. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity while paying homage to both man-made marvels and nature's incredible creatures who played their part in shaping our modern world.
