"Photographs by Phillips printed as Ink Photos by Sprague & Company, London. Ink Photos could be printed either by lithography, as here, or by relief. The process was a secret one that used a random dot screen much like a heavy collotype pattern. The resulting pictures have a crude but fascinating quality. Sprague claimed to have started this form of printing in 1879, though most encountered are from the 1890s."--David Hanson documentation

When the Forth Bridge opened on 4 March 1890 it was the longest railway bridge in the world and the first large structure made of steel. Crossing the wide Firth of Forth east of Edinburgh, it represents one of the greatest engineering triumphs of Victorian Britain, man's victory over the intractable topography of land and water. Not surprisingly, such a vigorous rebuff of the natural order was condemned at the time by those late Victorians who resisted the march of technology, and William Morris described the Bridge as the »supremest specimen of all ugliness«. In response, Benjamin Baker insisted that its beauty lay in its functional elegance. Contrasting his masterpiece with the only comparable structure of the period, the Eiffel Tower, he concluded: »The Eiffel Tower is a foolish piece of work, ugly, illproportioned and of no real use to anyone.

The fascinating story of the Forth Bridge is related here. The bridge is a functional monument, now transporting 200 trains a day and three million passengers a year, a symbol of Scotland and of human ingenuity, a pinnacle of Victorian enterprise and engineering, and a memorial to the men who died in its creation. As part of their contribution to the centenary of the Forth Bridge, a group of eminent engineers reassessed the bridge from the standpoint of current engineering knowledge. This lavishly illustrated book is the result.

The Forth Bridges is the supreme ambassador of railway bridges. It has become heritage in its own working lifetime. Its brute strength and beauty have won the world's admiration. Now, in its second century, it remains its own monument to a daring vision and the anonymous thousands who laboured to make it what it has become.

Excerpt from The Forth Railway Bridge: Being the Expanded Edition of the Giant's Anatomy It is, however, quite impossible by means of the pen to convey to the mind of the reader the immensity of this work, which can only be realised, not by a single visit, but by constant and careful study of the numerous and varied parts, and in this way alone does the magnitude and boldness of design gradually develop itself in the mind of the observer. It may perhaps be well to state that it has been the writer's object not to trespass upon treatises which have hitherto been or may be published, dealing with the subject in a scientific or technical manner a character the Author by no means assumes for this outline - at the same time it is but right to add, that in what follows the greatest care has been taken to ensure such clearness of description as may enable the ordinary reader, who has any interest in the undertaking, to grasp the general design of the Bridge and the various methods of erection. Those who wish to further follow up the subject, cannot fail to derive much pleasure in the perusal of other and more voluminous works which have left my hands.
