EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print transports us back to the Victorian era, showcasing the awe-inspiring grandeur of The Great Eastern, aptly named The Leviathan. Crafted by Jon Ball, this remarkable piece of art captures the essence of a monumental moment in maritime history. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly The Great Eastern herself, dominating the vast expanse of sea with her sheer size and power. This steamship marvels at an impressive length that seems to stretch endlessly into the horizon. Isambard Kingdom Brunel's visionary design comes to life as we witness his engineering masterpiece in action. As our eyes wander across the print, smaller vessels dotting the foreground add a sense of scale and perspective. These humble ships pale in comparison to The Great Eastern's magnificence but serve as a reminder that even giants need companions on their journeys. Transporting us back to November 3rd, 1857, this artwork encapsulates an era defined by innovation and progress. It invites us to reflect on how Victorians marveled at technological advancements like never before – feats that pushed boundaries and expanded human capabilities. Jon Ball's attention to detail brings every element alive; from meticulously capturing each wave crashing against The Great Eastern's hull to portraying intricate architectural features with precision. Through this stunning visual representation, we are reminded not only of past achievements but also inspired for what lies ahead in our own time.
