View, Looking Aft - A Glimpse into the Marvels of 19th Century Communications
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 1860s, aboard the legendary Great Eastern steamship. Captured by artist Robert Charles Dudley, it offers a mesmerizing view from the port paddle box, revealing an intricate mechanism known as "the trough". The Great Eastern was not just any vessel; it played a pivotal role in revolutionizing global communications. Operated by the Atlantic Telegraph Company and led by visionary engineers Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Cyrus West Field, this technological marvel laid submarine cables across the vast Atlantic Ocean. In this artwork, we witness sailors bustling about on deck against billowing smoke from her paddle wheels. The painting's vibrant colors bring to life both the industrial nature of shipping and telecommunication industries during that era. Dudley's attention to detail allows us to appreciate every cog and gear within "the trough" which housed delicate underwater cables responsible for transmitting messages between continents. This remarkable feat connected Britain with North America like never before. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time—a testament to human ingenuity and determination. It serves as a reminder of how far technology has come since then while honoring those who paved the way for modern telecommunications.
