An old engraving of men drilling during construction of the Mount Cenis Tunnel or Fréjus Rail Tunnel through the Alps between France and Italy – the tunnel to rail traffic opened in 1871. It is from a Victorian book of the 1880s. The tunnel links Rome and Paris, via Turin and Chambéry. The construction, directed by Germain Sommeiller, was completed in only 14 years with technical innovations such as pneumatic drilling and electrical ignition of explosive charges – as shown here where the drills are boring holes for the nitro-glycerine explosives. The use of dynamite accelerated completion.

A road roller (roller-compactor or roller) is used to surfaces in the construction of roads and foundations. Aveling and Porter was a British agricultural engine and steamroller (road roller) manufacturer. Thomas Aveling and Richard Thomas Porter entered into partnership in 1862, and developed a steam engine three years later.

An old engraving of an ‘Anderson’ tubular (tubulous or sectional pipe) boiler made by Mast, Foos and Company of Springfield, Ohio, USA in c.1880. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. This steam boiler had small tubes containing water and surrounded by flame and hot gases. The fire-tube boiler, offered a far greater heating surface area for the same overall boiler volume. The general construction is as a tank of water penetrated by tubes that carry the hot flue gases from the fire.

The Parc Monceau. Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensions: 28 5/8 x 21 3/8 in. (72.7 x 54.3 cm). Date: 1878. Monet painted six views of the Parc Monceau: three in 1876 and three in 1878. In this canvas, the disposition of light and shade in the foreground, the patterns of the leaves, and the broad contours beginning to develop in areas of strong contrast suggest that Monet had already begun to experiment with the boldly two-dimensional motifs that would characterize his work of the 1880s and 1890s.

An old engraving of the Trinity Shoal Light was a planned lighthouse meant to be constructed in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Louisiana in the 1870s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. The site was 20 miles (32 km) from land, and workers were housed in a shelter on a platform on the site. In November 1873 a strong hurricane destroyed their living quarters. All the workers were rescued but construction was called off.

White Pass and Yukon Railway train crossing Skagway River, October 21, 1898. During the Klondike Gold Rush, the White Pass was one of the routes used by prospectors to travel from Skagway to the Yukon gold fields. In April 1898 the White Pass and Yukon Railroad Company was formed in an effort to establish an easier way through the pass. Construction on the railroad began the following month. Thousands of workers worked around the clock in treacherous conditions to complete the project.

The Seine at Vétheuil. Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensions: 23 3/4 x 39 1/2 in. (60.3 x 100.3 cm). Date: 1880. Monet experimented with a variety of brushstrokes and simplified, horizontal forms in order to evoke the changing skies over the Seine River near his home in the village of Vétheuil, outside Paris.

George Mortimer Pullman (died 1897) was an American engineer and industrialist. He designed and manufactured the Pullman sleeping car and founded a company town, Pullman, for the workers who manufactured it. The Illinois town of Pullman was an ambitious social experiment that failed. In 1884, George Pullman completed construction of a new manufacturing complex and town on 4,000 acres of land south of Chicago for the employees of his flourishing Pullman Palace Car Co., founded in 1867 to build luxury railroad sleeping cars.

An old engraving of arch centering or centring in construction in the 1800s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. Centring, centre, centering, or center is a type of temporary falsework, usually made from timber. It forms a structure upon which the masonry stones or bricks of an arch or vault are laid. Until the central keystone is inserted an arch has no strength and needs the centring. The top illustration shows the centring on the first Westminster Bridge (1750) over the River Thames in London. John Rennie’s Waterloo Bridge over the Thames (1817) is shown bottom.

White Pass and Yukon Railway train crossing Skagway River, October 21, 1898. During the Klondike Gold Rush, the White Pass was one of the routes used by prospectors to travel from Skagway to the Yukon gold fields. In April 1898 the White Pass and Yukon Railroad Company was formed in an effort to establish an easier way through the pass. Construction on the railroad began the following month.
