Lot 316 | “On Board the Great Eastern.”
“On Board the Great Eastern.”Four satirical prints, c.1860STEAMSHIP – “On Board the Great Eastern.” London: W.H.J. Carter, [c.1860]. Satirical lithographs addressing the difficulties of cage crinolines for ladies aboard Isambard Kingdom Brunel's famous steamship the Great Eastern. The reverse of each print bears a printed catalogue of the publisher's other work addressing crinolines. Although the British Museum dates this series c.1860, the Great Eastern was used to lay the Transatlantic telegraph cable in 1865, a process which involves the use of protective equipment to prevent tangling of the cable known as the "crinoline"—to which perhaps this series could be a reference? Four hand-colored lithographs (377 x 280mm) tipped to mats, printed numbering and captions, each signed SEM (blank corner of No. 1 repaired, a little toned). In custom box.
