![''Great Britain'' Built at Bristol 1837-1843 [...]](jpegs/60912.jpg)
''Great Britain'' Built at Bristol 1837-1843 [...]
L.H.M. [Leonard Harrison Matthews] del 1926 sculp 1931.
Scarce etching, very large margins. 190 x 270mm (7½ x 10½"). Some spotting.
An amateur etching of SS Great Britain, surrounded by vignette details. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, she was the largest passenger ship in the world when she was completed in 1845, but here she is shown being used as a warehouse, quarantine ship and coal hulk in the Falkland Islands. Scuttled in 1937, she was brought back to England in 1970 and restored. Dr. Leonard Harrison Matthews (1901-86) drew this sketch when he was a zoologist with the 'Discovery Investigations' (1924-9) in the Falklands and South Georgia, studying the biology of whales and southern elephant seals. In 1931 he published a paper, 'South Georgia, the Empire's Sub-Antarctic Outpost'; over fifty years later his last publication was 'Mammals in the British Isles' (1982).
