This incredible print showcases the detailed plan of the iconic steamship SS Great Britain, designed by the legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and launched in 1843. The illustrations provide a fascinating side cutaway view and an overhead perspective of this revolutionary vessel, offering a glimpse into the intricate design and engineering marvels of the mid-19th century.
