First page only
First page cut out from the French magazine "Génie civil" from Saturday September 29, 1906.
“Civil Engineering” is a weekly review of French and foreign industries. The incredible aesthetic of these first pages make them a common decor element for a loft or industrial type decoration: Indeed, on a single sheet you will have visual elements from the beginning of the 20th century oriented towards industry, invention and mechanics, as well as a strong link with the history of these technological revolutions presented in the main illustration ( engraving or photo). To be framed for maximum shine! We have other elements of this type in stock on several themes (Aviation, militaria, Marine, locomotion, etc.), consult our other announcements, or contact us.
The illustration on this page represents: New masonry bridge, over the Loire in Orléans. The construction of the new masonry bridge in Orléans illustrates the technical and architectural advances of the early 20th century in the field of public works. Located on the Loire and presented here from two different perspectives, it symbolizes urban growth and the improvement of infrastructure essential to regional economic development. The bridge connects the various parts of the city of Orléans and facilitates transport and commerce thanks to its robust and innovative structure for the time. This image testifies not only to civil engineering skills but also to a significant historical heritage which has helped to shape the French industrial landscape. The careful layout with explanatory text provides detailed context to better appreciate the central image and understand its importance in the context of the technological progress of this period.
