EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a momentous event in London's history - the opening of the Thames Tunnel on 25 March 1843. The image shows a grand procession through the tunnel, located between Rotherhithe and Wapping, to mark this significant occasion.
In the forefront of the print stands Sir Marc Isambard Brunel, the renowned French engineer and inventor responsible for overseeing the construction of this engineering marvel. With his top hat raised high in celebration, Brunel exudes pride as he witnesses his vision come to life.
The historical significance of this moment is palpable in every detail of the engraving - from the elaborate attire of those participating in the procession to the architectural feat that is showcased by the tunnel itself. This image serves as a window into a bygone era, allowing us to witness firsthand one of London's most iconic landmarks being unveiled to an eager public.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of not just Brunel's ingenuity and skill but also of London's rich history as a hub of innovation and progress. It is a testament to human determination and perseverance that continues to inspire us today.
