Pictures from the Royal Academy: The Opening of the Tower Bridge - W. L. Wyllie, A.R.A., 1895. 'Obedient to the Prince's touch, the ponderous bascules, like the arms of a giant awaking, reared themselves into the air, and the craft, adorned with flags innumerable, crowded through in a long triumphal procession, whilst the roaring of horse-throated sirens, the clang of bells, and boom of cannon, proclaimed the great Tower Bridge open'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
