The South Eastern Railway was established in 1836 and stayed in business until 1922. It was initially formed to construct a route from London to Dover, and then later opening lines to Tunbridge Wells, Hastings, Canterbury and other places in Kent. In 1844 the SER organised the first of seven rail and ferry excursions from London to Boulogne; and in 1854 the SER took over the South Eastern & Continental Steam Packet Company. In1866 when the SER was under the chairmanship of Sir Edward Watkin, who was also chairman of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway and the Metropolitan Railways, as well as being a director of the Chemin de Fer du Nord in France; he saw the SER as one link from the industrial north of England to the Continent and thus proposed the idea of the Channel Tunnel. The plans were ultimately blocked by the War Office.

The Burning of the French Adm.ls Ship L'Orient in the Glorious Battle of the Nile Aug. 1 1798.
[Engraved by Charles Turner.] Orme, New Bond Street. Excu.t. R.M.
Sold & Published Jan.y 1, 1799 by Edw.d Orme, New Bond Street, London. Where may be had a Variety of Transparent Prints & New Publications. NB. Every requisite for drawing Transparencies sold as above.
Mezzotint with etching, large margins. 240 x 280mm (9½ x 11").
An unfinished transparency print of the French flagship L'Orient's on fire at night during the Battle of the Nile. When the magazine exploded the shock wave caused a pause in the battle lasting ten minutes, as the ships had to deal with burning debris flying everywhere. Transparency prints are usually finished with colour and varnish on the reverse so that when held up to the light the scene changes. Edward Orme invented the process c.1794, and Charles Turner engraved the first such plate; Turner's diary lists this plate as one of the transparency prints he engraved for Orme.
BM: 2010,7081.7693, this example a later state with the addition of the R.M. Whitman: Turner 286.
