H.G. GAWTHORNTHE FORTH BRIDGE. 1928. 39 1/2x49 3/4 inches. David Allen & Sons, London. Condition B+: vertical and horizontal folds; repaired tears in margins; overpainting and restoration in bottom left corner and top margin. An exceptional nocturnal scene in which the design and beauty of the bridge rise into the night sky. The peaceful blue of the evening is punctuated by the orange glow of the train's lights, which also illuminate the underside of the arch it is passing under. "The Forth Bridge crosses the estuary of the River Forth in Scotland to connect the East Coast route between London and Aberdeen. It was designed by Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker and opened by the Prince of Wales in 1890" (Railway p. 137). Railway p. 136.
