Brunel Isambard Steam Ship Steamer
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
IK Brunel, the visionary British engineer and innovator, stands proudly before his latest creation, the colossal "Great Eastern," a steam-powered ship that would revolutionize maritime transportation. The year is 1858, and Brunel, dressed in a tailored suit and top hat, gazes intently at the vessel that would become his most enduring legacy. The Great Eastern, also known as the "Leviathan of the Seas," was the largest ship ever built at the time, with a length of 692 feet and a beam of 92 feet. Its immense size was a testament to Brunel's engineering prowess and his relentless pursuit of progress. The ship was designed to carry large quantities of cargo and passengers across the Atlantic Ocean, making it a significant advancement in transatlantic travel. The scene captured in this photograph is a pivotal moment in the ship's construction. The Great Eastern, still in its early stages, lies on the River Thames in London, surrounded by workers and onlookers. The hauling chains, which would be used to launch the ship into the water, are visible in the foreground, adding a sense of anticipation and excitement to the image. Brunel's expression reveals a deep sense of satisfaction and determination. He knew that the Great Eastern would face numerous challenges during its construction and maiden voyage, but he was undeterred. The engineer's unwavering belief in his design and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of what was possible would ultimately lead to the successful launch of the ship in 1859. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and vision of IK Brunel, a man who shaped the course of maritime history with his groundbreaking designs and relentless pursuit of innovation. The Great Eastern, a symbol of Brunel's engineering genius, remains an enduring icon of the steam age and a reminder of the extraordinary feats that can be achieved when one dares to dream.
