EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Isambard Kingdom Brunel's second design for the Clifton Suspension Bridge, a masterpiece of engineering and architectural ingenuity. The drawing depicts a tunnel passing through one end of the bridge, specifically through the remarkable Giants Hole Cave, while an archway is depicted at the other end, seamlessly integrated into the surrounding rock formation. Brunel's preferred plans were captured in this image along with another drawing numbered three. These designs highlight his visionary approach to bridging gaps and connecting communities. The Clifton Suspension Bridge stands as a testament to his genius and remains an iconic landmark in Bristol. The photograph is made available by courtesy of the Brunel Institute, which represents a collaboration between the SS Great Britain Trust and the University of Bristol. This partnership ensures that Brunel's legacy continues to be celebrated and studied by generations to come. As we admire this historical artifact from Victorian times, it serves as a reminder of how human innovation can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.
