EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print, titled "Cross section of the whole tunnel, 1831" offers a fascinating glimpse into the engineering marvel that is London's Thames Tunnel. Created by Joseph Pinchback in the 19th century, this artwork measures an impressive 54x155 cm and is housed at the London Metropolitan Archives. The intricate illustration showcases a cross-section of the tunnel, revealing its extension halfway across the river. The Rotherhithe shaft, along with its sump and nearby buildings, are also prominently featured. Pinchback's attention to detail brings to life not only the architectural aspects but also highlights the internal anatomy of this remarkable structure. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to a time when such feats of engineering were groundbreaking. The Thames Tunnel stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Its construction was no small feat; it required meticulous planning and execution. Through vibrant watercolours and precise brushstrokes, Pinchback captures both the grandeur and complexity of this iconic landmark. This print serves as a window into history—a visual record that allows us to appreciate not only its structural significance but also its impact on Londoners' lives during that era.
