ABOUT
Draws upon contemporary engineering photographs to show how broad the interests of the Victorian engineer were.
There was much more to 19th-century engineering than that symbolized by the much-published photograph of Isambard Kingdom Brunel standing before the chains of the Great Eastern.
The author, the librarian of the Institution of Civil Engineers, looks at the history of civil engineering and its establishment as a profession, its worldwide growth, and in particular the influence of British civil engineering practice. Combines famous photographic images, such as the construction of the Eiffel Tower, with little-known archive photographs taken by on-site surveyors and engineers of the time.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
