Deck Scene of the Great Eastern, 1857. Creator: Robert Howlett (British, 1831-1858)
Deck Scene of the Great Eastern, 1857. A leading professional photographer of the mid-1850s, Robert Howlett is best known for his extended group of photographs documenting the construction and launching of the Great Eastern steamship. Designed by one of the greatest engineers of his time, I.K. Brunel, the Great Eastern took over four years to construct and, because of its immense size, an unprecedented three months to launch. For over forty years, the Great Eastern was the largest steamship ever constructed and it became a symbol of Great Britains national pride and industrial supremacy. In this image, Howlett has captured the steamships deck in the midst of construction while laborers stand idly in the background and gentleman and engineers seem to confer in the foreground
