EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the Severn Tunnel, as diver Lambert bravely penetrates the heading to close a door isolating an affected section during a flood. The image showcases the incredible determination and skill of this diver, who risked his life to protect the tunnel from further damage.
The Severn Tunnel, located in Britain, has a long history of being prone to flooding due to its underground location. In 1883, when water broke through into the workings of the tunnel, Lambert stepped in to take action and prevent disaster. His heroic efforts are immortalized in this powerful photograph.
The details captured in this image - from the murky waters surrounding Lambert to the intricate architecture of the tunnel itself - provide a glimpse into a pivotal moment in transport history. Tunnels like these played a crucial role in connecting communities and facilitating trade throughout Britain.
As we look at this print today, we are reminded of the dedication and bravery exhibited by individuals like Lambert who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure safe passage for travelers. This piece from Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a snapshot of history; it is a testament to human ingenuity and resilience in the face of adversity.
