EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "I K Brunel Others Observing Great Eastern Launch Attempt" we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The image, captured by the talented British photographer Robert Howlett in November 1857, showcases a group of individuals gathered on the banks of London's River Thames. At the center of attention stands Isambard Kingdom Brunel, one of the greatest engineers and visionaries of his time. With an air of anticipation and determination etched across his face, Brunel is joined by several other figures who share in his excitement for what lies ahead. The focal point of their collective gaze is none other than the awe-inspiring Great Eastern steamship. This ambitious vessel was designed by Brunel himself and represented a groundbreaking feat in maritime engineering. As it looms large behind them, its sheer size and grandeur leave no doubt as to why it earned its name. This albumen silver print transports us back to that fateful day when dreams were set sail upon turbulent waters. It captures not only the magnitude of this launch attempt but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we cannot help but feel inspired by these pioneers who dared to push boundaries and challenge conventional wisdom. Through Howlett's lens, we are reminded that progress often requires boldness, collaboration, and unwavering belief in our own capabilities. This print from Liszt Collection invites us into a world where innovation meets ambition
