EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of Cavenagh Bridge, spanning the lower reaches of the Singapore River in the late 19th century. This iconic suspension bridge, one of the oldest in Singapore, was built during the British colonial era and remains a significant historical landmark in the city-state's rich cultural heritage. The image, captured in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past when the bustling metropolis was still dotted with lush countryside and traditional townhouses. The bridge, with its elegant arches and intricate ironwork, stands proudly against the backdrop of the river, its tranquil waters reflecting the beauty of the scene. The photograph, an albumen print from the 1890s, showcases the architectural grandeur of the bridge, which was a marvel of engineering during its time. The bridge's construction in the 1870s marked a significant milestone in Singapore's development, connecting the northern and southern parts of the city and facilitating the movement of goods and people. As a traveller, gazing at this image, one can almost hear the gentle lapping of the river against the shore, feel the cool breeze rustling through the trees, and sense the excitement of exploring a new and exotic land. This vintage photograph is not just a historical document, but a window into the past, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of Singapore from a humble trading post to a vibrant and cosmopolitan city.
