A 19th-century wood engraving titled The Royal Albert Viaduct at Saltash, illustrating the iconic railway structure designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel spanning the River Tamar. The scene provides a perspective view from the riverbank, showing the town of Saltash nestled beneath the bridge. The foreground contains figures of grazing cattle and a timber fence. This print is characteristic of illustrations found in mid-Victorian periodicals. Printed text in the lower right margin reads THE ROYAL ALBERT VIADUCT AT SALTASH. 199. The work is presented in a contemporary black and gilt frame with a double-layered grey mount.
