The first fifty years of photographys history coincided with the Golden Age of civil engineering. This was the era of the railway boom, with its unprecedented volume of bridge construction, when vast programmes of municipal infrastructures were initiated in the wake of rapid Western industrialisation. Never before had the industry of civil engineering made such an impact on the environment. Record Pictures: Photographs from the Archive of the Institution of Civil Engineers represents the photographic jewels of arguably the finest collection in Britain.
