EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sketch by the legendary Isambard Kingdom Brunel, depicting the Queens Carriage in 1847. The side view of this exquisite carriage designed for Queen Victoria reveals intricate details of its suspension, wheels, and driving rods. It is evident that every aspect has been meticulously planned and executed with precision. The dimensions provided in the sketch hint at a potential railway purpose for this regal carriage. Perhaps it was intended to transport Her Majesty along the Great Western Railway, an ambitious project closely associated with Brunel himself. Courtesy of the Brunel Institute, a collaboration between the SS Great Britain Trust and the University of Bristol, we are fortunate to have access to this historical gem. This image not only offers us a glimpse into Victorian transportation design but also serves as a testament to Brunel's genius and his significant contributions during that era. As we admire this print, let us imagine Queen Victoria herself stepping into this elegant carriage and embarking on her royal journeys across vast landscapes. It is through such artifacts that we can truly appreciate how technology and innovation have shaped our world throughout history.
