EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Liverpool Corporation Waterworks, Lake Vyrnwy, Montgomeryshire, North Wales" takes us back to the late 19th century and offers a glimpse into an impressive engineering feat. The image showcases the grandeur of the waterworks site with its intricate architecture and natural surroundings. In the foreground, we see the entrance to Hirnant Tunnel leading towards a roadway that winds through lush greenery. Beyond this picturesque scene lies the magnificent dam that forms Lake Vyrnwy. Its tranquil waters reflect the surrounding landscape and hint at its role in providing vital water supplies for Liverpool. The construction of this ambitious project is evident as we observe Eunant Hall nestled among trees on one side of the lake. Submerged aqueducts can be seen traversing beneath the surface while reservoirs ensure a steady flow of compensation water. Standing tall amidst this breathtaking panorama is Vyrnwy Tower, proudly overlooking Montgomeryshire. This iconic structure serves not only as a symbol of architectural excellence but also as a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing nature's resources for public benefit. "The Liverpool Corporation Waterworks" engraving captures both beauty and functionality in perfect harmony. It reminds us of our ability to shape our environment while respecting its inherent splendor. This print stands as a tribute to those who worked tirelessly to bring clean water from Lake Vyrnwy all those years ago – their legacy forever etched within these lines and strokes captured by William Crimea Simpson's skilled hand.
