This engraving, titled "Portrait of Mr Robert Stephenson, with a View of the Great Hydraulic Ram used in Launching the Leviathan" offers a glimpse into the remarkable world of 19th-century engineering. The image showcases Mr Robert Stephenson, an esteemed civil engineer, alongside the awe-inspiring Great Hydraulic Ram and the colossal ship known as Leviathan. The portrait captures Mr Stephenson's dignified presence as he stands confidently beside this groundbreaking hydraulic invention. His gaze reflects both pride and determination, symbolizing his pivotal role in revolutionizing ship launches during that era. Intriguingly, behind him looms the magnificent Leviathan – a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. This mighty vessel was launched using the very same hydraulic ram depicted in this print. Its sheer size and grandeur are truly breathtaking; one can only imagine the scale of effort required to bring such a behemoth into existence. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated Times on January 16th, 1858 – a publication renowned for its detailed illustrations capturing significant moments in history. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact that immortalizes not only Mr Robert Stephenson but also his contributions to maritime engineering. As we admire this print today, it reminds us of humanity's unyielding spirit to push boundaries and conquer seemingly insurmountable challenges.
