Title
Forth Bridge - General views from high ground back of South Queensferry 02
Description
Photograph of general views from high ground back of South Queensferry. These views make an angle of about 35 degrees with the centre line and were taken when Queensferry cantilever was ready for first lift, that at Inchgarvie being less advenced, while the superstructure at Fife, on the other hand, was already a conspicuous object in the background. H.M.S Devastation lying mid-stream may help those acquainted with her dimensions to realise the formidable extent of the gaps to be spanned. As records of progress these pictures are extremely interesting, while the large expanse of water studded with the islets for which the Forth is famous, the ships lying at anchor in St David's roads, and the cornfields forming the foreground of the picture, all combine to contribute to a most pleasing effect. Transcription from: Philip Phillips, 'The Forth Railway Bridge', Edinburgh, 1890.
