EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1882, offering a glimpse into an extraordinary visit to the Channel Tunnel. The illustration, originally featured in The Graphic on March 4th of that year, showcases various aspects of this groundbreaking engineering marvel. The image is divided into six distinct scenes, each revealing a different facet of this monumental project. We start with a view of the surface works at the base of Shakespeares Cliff, where laborers tirelessly toil away. Next, we are transported inside the tunnel itself as we witness individuals riding on a tram car through its dark depths. As our journey continues downwards, we catch sight of brave souls descending in a cage—an awe-inspiring feat considering the immense depth they must have reached. Further along, we encounter men inspecting the colossal boring machine responsible for carving out this subterranean passageway. Intriguingly, there is also an image capturing a halfway siding—a place where workers could find respite and refreshments amidst their arduous tasks. Finally, our attention is drawn towards what appears to be an intricate boring disc from one of these compressed air engines—the very heart and soul driving this ambitious endeavor forward. This evocative snapshot not only highlights remarkable civil engineering achievements but also immortalizes those who dedicated their lives to making them possible. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an homage to all those involved in constructing this vital connection between England and France beneath the English Channel.
