Framed Print of Sir Robert Rawlinson, C.B. 1883. Creator: Unknown
Sir Robert Rawlinson, C.B. 1883. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. H. S. Mendelsohn, ...Civil Engineering Inspector of the Local Government Board...In 1836, he was employed under Mr. Robert Stephenson in the construction of the London and Birmingham Railway...He drew up suggestions for the use of local surveyors and sanitary engineers as to main sewering, house-draining, water supply, and sewage irrigation. These plans have...been extended, so as to be suitable not only for Great Britain, but also for British India and the Colonies...In 1855 Mr. Rawlinson was sent as a member of the Sanitary Commission to the British Army, where he caused measures to be adopted which soon reduced the rate of mortality among our soldiers in the Crimea, and in the military hospitals on the Bosphorus, after a frightful number of deaths, from the want of proper care in cleansing, ventilating, and furnishing pure water, had taken place among our soldiers...In 1863, Mr. Rawlinson was sent...to Lancashire as Commissioner to devise work for the people in the distressed cotton districts during the cotton famine...upwards of 400 miles of roads and streets were formed, drained, sewered, channelled, and paved, the manual labour being done...by cotton operatives'.
