EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print, titled "Longitudinal section showing the inundation of the river" offers a glimpse into an engineering marvel of the 19th century. Created by Joseph Pinchback, this artwork showcases a detailed illustration of a tunnel construction project in London. The focal point of the image is a longitudinal section that reveals the river's inundation into the workings of the tunnel. We see a mass of bagged clay dropped on a raft to fill the gap caused by this flooding. Richard Beamish, Brunel's engineering assistant, can be seen examining the state of the shield with his bull's-eye lantern while accompanied by another individual in a boat. The artist expertly captures both architectural and natural elements within this scene. The intricate details highlight not only the technical aspects but also evoke admiration for human ingenuity and determination in conquering such challenging projects. With its delicate watercolour technique and precise rendering, this print transports us back to early 19th-century England. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of significant engineering work along London's Thames River. Preserved at London Metropolitan Archives, City of London, this artwork stands as testament to our ancestors' remarkable achievements in shaping their environment through innovation and perseverance.
