EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two remarkable sketches by the legendary Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The first sketch depicts a Great Western Railway eight-wheel carriage, meticulously drawn with brief and faint pencil strokes. It offers a glimpse into Brunel's visionary mind, revealing the intricate details of several carriages and their wheel positions. The second sketch unveils an iconic landmark that stands as a testament to Brunel's engineering prowess - the Saltash Bridge, also known as the Royal Albert Bridge near Plymouth. This side elevation drawing presents the bridge in all its grandeur, showcasing its majestic arches and central arch towering above the water below. Notably, this may be one of the earliest depictions of this architectural marvel. The image serves as a window into Victorian-era innovation and progress. It transports us back to a time when Brunel's revolutionary designs were shaping transportation infrastructure across Britain. The inclusion of a ship sailing under the central arch adds depth to the scene, emphasizing both Brunel's mastery in bridging land and water and his vision for seamless connectivity. Courtesy of the esteemed collaboration between SS Great Britain Trust and University of Bristol's Brunel Institute, this print allows us to appreciate these historical sketches up close. It is an invaluable piece that pays tribute to Isambard Kingdom Brunel's enduring legacy in railway engineering and his significant contributions during an era defined by progress and ingenuity.
