Summary

The Civil Engineer and Architect's Journal, particularly during the mid-19th century, was a staple reference for professionals during the height of the Industrial Revolution.
By 1858, this journal (published by R. Groombridge and Sons in London) was documenting a fascinating transition in structural design—moving away from traditional masonry and toward the bold use of cast and wrought iron.
