EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Victorian era, specifically to the momentous occasion of the opening of Marc Isambard Brunel's Thames Tunnel. The advertisement beautifully captures three significant sections of this engineering marvel, allowing us a glimpse into its intricate details. At the center of attention is an impressive representation of the iron shield used during construction, symbolizing human ingenuity and determination. It serves as a testament to Marc Brunel's innovative approach in building this underwater tunnel beneath the mighty River Thames. The longitudinal section showcased in this print reveals a hidden world beneath our feet – a feat that astonished Londoners at that time. This perspective gives us an appreciation for the immense challenges faced by those who labored tirelessly to create this subterranean passage connecting Rotherhithe and Wapping. Flanking either side are two arched entrances emerging from shafts above ground level. These entrances served as gateways into an underground realm that would forever change transportation in London. Beneath these remarkable visuals lies a map depicting the surrounding area, providing context for how this engineering triumph seamlessly integrated with its urban surroundings. Jon Ball's expertly captured photograph transports us back to 1841/42 when curiosity was piqued and excitement filled the air as people eagerly awaited their chance to explore this extraordinary achievement firsthand. This image serves as a reminder of both Marc Isambard Brunel's legacy and his son Isambard Kingdom Brunel's indomitable spirit, which continue to inspire engineers and vision
