EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Currier & Ives takes us back to the year 1858, showcasing the magnificent British steamship: Great Eastern. The detailed print captures the exterior of this maritime marvel in all its glory, highlighting its grandeur and power. The Great Eastern was a true engineering feat of its time, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and built under the supervision of Nathaniel Merritt. This transatlantic steamboat played a significant role in transportation history as it was instrumental in laying down the first successful transcontinental telegraph cable across the Atlantic Ocean. As we gaze at this historic image, we can't help but be amazed by the sheer size and elegance of this vessel. It symbolizes an era when steam-powered technology revolutionized long-distance travel and communication. The lithograph also pays homage to James Merritt Ives and Nathaniel Currier, renowned American artists who collaborated on numerous prints during their partnership. Their attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing not only the physical attributes of Great Eastern but also conveying a sense of adventure that accompanied these groundbreaking voyages. This print serves as a reminder of how human ingenuity has shaped our world throughout history. It invites us to appreciate both technological advancements and artistic craftsmanship that have stood the test of time.
