Framed Print of Span of Railway Bridge for India, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Span of Railway Bridge for India, 1858....the Keeal and Huttohur Bridges...have just been constructed for the East Indian Railway Company by Messrs. Cochrane and Co...from the designs and under the directions of Messrs. M. and G. Rendel, of Great George-street, Westminster, engineers. The bridges...are composed of 1170 tons of wrought iron and 150 tons of cast iron, and consist of nine spans or openings, each span of 150 feet. Our Engraving represents one of these spans...whoever looks at India previously to the civilisation introduced there by Great Britain, must at once perceive a great contrast between its former and present state...one thing is certain - whether we have come by our empire righteously or unrighteously - whether we have been forced into possessions we did not covet, or have sought quarrels that we might gain by the issue - the natives at large have essentially benefited by the change of masters'.
