Viaduct at Ivy Bridge, Devon.
Printed and Published by O. Angel, 94 Fore Str. Exeter. Rare tinted lithograph. 250 x 340mm (9¾ x 13¼"). Repaired tear in upper margin. Slight crease at top. A viaduct designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-59) and built in 1848 for the South Devon Railway, with a locomotive crossing. After the S.D.R. merged with the Great Western Railway the track had to be widened from Broad to Standard gauge, so the viaduct had to be rebuilt. The current viaduct, designed by James Inglis and built in 1892, incorporated six of Brunel's granite piers. One of a series of six "Viaducts on the South Devon Railway", with lithographs by Mason and O. Angel.
