EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel in a moment of anticipation and grandeur. Standing before the launching chains of the magnificent Great Eastern, Brunel exudes confidence and determination. The year is 1857, but this albumen silver print was created between 1863-64 by Robert Howlett. Brunel's iconic figure dominates the frame as he gazes towards his creation with a cigar in hand, symbolizing both his authority and passion for innovation. Dressed impeccably in formal attire, his hat adds an air of sophistication to his already distinguished presence. The Great Eastern itself looms behind him, its massive chain links serving as a testament to Brunel's groundbreaking engineering prowess. This paddle steamer represents not only technological advancement but also Britain's industrial might during the 19th century. As one of history's greatest inventors and shipbuilders, Isambard Kingdom Brunel left an indelible mark on London's landscape and maritime industry. His contributions to science and engineering continue to inspire generations even today. Robert Howlett masterfully captured this historic moment on film, showcasing both Brunel's commanding persona and the sheer scale of his achievements.
