The Thames Tunnel, London, 1832
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early 19th century. This remarkable cross-section of Marc Isambard Brunel's double-arched masonry tunnel beneath the Thames showcases his groundbreaking engineering feat. Serving as a connection between Wapping and Rotherhithe, it holds the distinction of being the world's first underwater tunnel. Completed in 1843 as a foot tunnel, this architectural marvel was later converted into a railway tunnel for the East London Railway during the 1860s. Constructed over an impressive period from 1825 to 1843, it continues to serve its purpose today as part of the London Underground. In this woodcut print, we witness men and animals traversing through this subterranean passage. Pedestrians stroll alongside horses ridden by their riders while others simply walk through with curiosity etched on their faces. The archways create an awe-inspiring atmosphere that blends history with modernity. The mastermind behind this extraordinary project was none other than Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself, who acted as site engineer alongside his father Sir Marc Isambard Brunel. Their vision and ingenuity have left an indelible mark on civil engineering history. This evocative image captures not only a physical structure but also represents progress and innovation in its purest form. It serves as a testament to human determination and our ability to conquer seemingly insurmountable challenges for the better
