| Unique ID: | 725 | | Description: | Engraving. 6*4 cm. One of a series of perhaps 90 thumbnail sketches published by Ackermann & Co. for an avalanche of railway guides edited by Arthur Freeling. These were normally published under the auspices of the relevant railway company and sold before the line opened. This engraving first appears in a published work of 1839 ('Picturesque Excursions'). It depicts one of the old boat ferries which operated prior to the opening of the floating bridge in 1836. | | Creator: | Unknown | | Date: | 1839 | | Copyright: | Southampton City Council | | Partner: | SCC Libraries | | Partner ID: | Unknown |
