Civil engineers have been shaping the world for centuries, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and progress. From John Smeaton's pioneering work in 1779 to the late Mr Thomas Hawksley's contributions as an FRS, these visionaries have revolutionized our built environment. Mr C Wahab, CE, and Robert Stephenson, Esquire, Civil Engineer are among those who have left their mark on history. Their engravings serve as a testament to their dedication and expertise in their field. The influence of civil engineering extends beyond borders, with Marc Seguin showcasing French excellence in this litho. Meanwhile, Mr Brunel's commanding presence during the launch of the Leviathan demonstrates his mastery over large-scale projects. Sir Samuel Morton Peto received a magnificent service of silver plate and dessert service as recognition for his invaluable contributions to civil engineering. This engraving captures the grandeur associated with such achievements. Leadership is crucial in any enterprise, and it was no different during the opening of Tower Bridge. The engraving immortalizes those who spearheaded this monumental project. Education plays a vital role in nurturing future civil engineers. The College for Civil Engineers at Putney stands as a symbol of knowledge transfer from one generation to another. Even royalty recognizes the significance of civil engineering. The Prince of Wales inaugurated Metropolitan Main-Drainage Works at Crossness—an event captured beautifully in an engraving that showcases both regality and technical prowess. Lastly, we remember Mr John Dixon—a respected figure whose contribution to civil engineering will forever be cherished through his engraved portrait. These engravings tell stories—stories that celebrate ingenuity, perseverance, and ambition—the very essence of what it means to be a civil engineer.
