Isambard Kingdom Brunel's SS Great Western, launched in 1837, was the first steamship purpose-built for the Atlantic crossing. Her maiden voyage, completed on 23 April 1838, was the fastest crossing up to that time. On this 1846 Liverpool to New York run she ran into bad weather. On the 19th (not the 9th) September the sails had to be pulled in but were lost anyway. Water got into the engine room and had to be pumped out. Waves broke the ice house (containing about eight tons of ice) from its deck fastenings, along with two lifeboats. The port paddle box (covering the upper half of the paddle wheel) was smashed and a splinter struck the captain in the head. A wave crashed over the ship and drenched the passengers sheltering in the saloon. Captain Mathews said to a passenger afterwards that ''Thrice on deck I thought destruction inevitable'' but because the engines never failed the Great Western survived the storm.

Girl in Greek dress, with a peacock to her right and a plant to her left. After James Northcote (1746-1831), painter and author.

Unfortunately during his career the technique of mezzotint, demonstrated so well here, went into decline as it was supplanted by lithography and engraving onto steel plates, both of which enabled publishers to make many good impressions whereas mezzotints yielded very few.
