EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photo print, we catch a glimpse of history through the eyes of Sir Marc Brunel, as he sketches his vision for the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge in 1829. The bridge, which would later become one of Bristol's most beloved landmarks, is depicted with an unexpected twist - a pagoda-like structure supporting its middle section. This particular image holds a special significance as it originates from a letter exchanged between Sir Marc and his son Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It is widely believed that their correspondence was laced with playful banter and inside jokes, making this sketch all the more fascinating. As we delve into this father-son relationship captured on paper, we are reminded of the immense talent and innovation that ran in their bloodline. Both renowned engineers in their own right, they left an indelible mark on British engineering history. The Clifton Suspension Bridge itself stands as a testament to their brilliance and ingenuity. Spanning across the picturesque Avon Gorge, it has not only connected communities but also served as an enduring symbol of Bristol's identity. Beyond its historical value or commercial use (which shall remain unmentioned), this print invites us to appreciate the personal connection shared by two extraordinary individuals who shaped our world through their remarkable contributions to engineering marvels like no other – Sir Marc Brunel and his illustrious son Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
