EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1869, capturing a significant moment in history - the departure of The Great Eastern steam-ship from Sheerness with the French Atlantic Cable. This wood engraving, sourced from an English newspaper of that era, beautifully depicts the grandeur and importance of this maritime event. The image showcases The Great Eastern steam-ship majestically sailing through the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Its massive size is evident as it dominates the frame, exuding power and strength. The ship's exterior is meticulously detailed in this engraving, highlighting its intricate design and craftsmanship. This historic voyage marked a milestone in communication between nations. The laying of transatlantic cables revolutionized long-distance communication by enabling telegraph messages to be transmitted across vast distances within minutes instead of weeks or months. The presence of Isambard Brunel, one of Britain's greatest engineers, adds further significance to this image. His visionary mind played a crucial role in designing and constructing The Great Eastern steam-ship. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to a time when technology was rapidly advancing and connecting people across continents like never before. It serves as a reminder that progress knows no bounds when it comes to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit for better means of transportation and communication.
