First page only
First page cut from the French magazine "Génie civil" from Saturday September 15, 1908.
“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 items of this type in stock on several themes (Aviation, militaria, Marine, locomotion, etc.), check out our other ads, or contact us.
The illustration on this page represents: General view of Brig station. The illustration shows the implementation of electric traction in the Simplon railway tunnel which connects Switzerland to Italy. This technical feat marked a turning point in the methods of electrifying railway tracks at the beginning of the 20th century and illustrates significant advances in the field of civil engineering and transport. The accompanying text offers a detailed overview of the technical characteristics of the electric locomotives used as well as their impact on the efficiency of transalpine rail transport at the time. The comprehensive historical article would allow amateurs and experts alike to fully appreciate the context and the technological innovations described.
