EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Coupe d'une Tonnelle pour le service des gens de pied prise dans toute son etendue, 1824" captures a remarkable cross-section of a pedestrian tunnel in all its glory. This watercolour on paper artwork was created by Marc Isambard Brunel and his chief mechanical draftsman, Joseph Pinchback. The image showcases the scale of the tunnel with measurements in feet, providing an intricate insight into its construction. Folded into four sections, this long sheet displays some signs of wear and tear, including tears and staining. However, these imperfections only add to the historical charm of the piece. Preserved at the London Metropolitan Archives in the City of London, this artwork offers a glimpse into 19th-century England's architectural and engineering achievements. The tunnel depicted in the print is situated beneath the iconic River Thames in London. It stands as a testament to Brunel's innovative engineering work during this era. The watercolour illustration beautifully captures both the grandeur of this feat and its meticulous details. This artwork transports viewers back to a time when British engineering prowess was making waves across Europe. With no people present within the frame, it allows us to appreciate not only Brunel's masterpiece but also marvel at how far we have come since then.
