EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing view looking aft at the port paddle box of the iconic Great Eastern. Created by British artist Robert Charles Dudley in 1865-66, this artwork combines watercolor, graphite, and touches of gouache on a sheet measuring 15 1/8 x 21 1/2 inches (384 x 546 cm). The Great Eastern was renowned for its great technological achievements during the 19th century. This particular image highlights one such accomplishment - the laying of a telegraphic cable beneath the Atlantic Ocean. The trough-like structure visible in the painting represents this remarkable feat that allowed messages to be transmitted with incredible speed back and forth between North America and Europe. In an era when communication across continents could take ten to twelve days by steamer, this groundbreaking innovation revolutionized global connectivity. The Great Eastern played a pivotal role in bridging distances and bringing people closer together. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness not only Dudley's artistic prowess but also marvel at humanity's ingenuity and determination to overcome geographical barriers. This print serves as a reminder of our relentless pursuit of progress and how it has shaped our world today.
