The Royal Albert Bridge, which crosses the Tamar at Saltash in Cornwall. Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-59) was chief engineer and designer of the bridge, which replaced the ferry across the river to carry the new railway line linking Cornwall to the rest of England. The bridge opened shortly before Brunel's death in 1859, and this print, with its detailed information about the bridge, was one of several published shortly after it opened.

The Royal Albert Bridge, opened in May 1859, and crosses the Tamar at Saltash in Cornwall. Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-59) was chief engineer and designer of the bridge, which replaced the ferry across the river to carry the new railway line linking Cornwall to the rest of England. The bridge opened shortly before Brunel's death in 1859, and this print, with its detailed information about the bridge, was probably made to coincide with its opening.
