London. 'Thames Tunnel', c.1820s [watermarked Whatman, 1811], hand coloured engraved map showing the planned route of the tunnel from Wapping to Rotherhithe, with an engraved side-projection beneath, with contemp. ink annotations and a colour key showing the rate of progress of the building of the tunnel and remarks in ink such as 'all progress interrupted for 9 years' referring to the bricking up of the tunnel in 1828 when the project ran out of funds, some paper toning, plate mark approx. 420 x 470 mm The first tunnel under the Thames, Marc Isambard Brunel's Thames Tunnel was an extraordinary feat considering the tools available at the time. He proposed to build it using a revolutionary shield which would hold the tunnel open while brickwork was put in behind it. A company was formed to build the tunnel in 1824 and despite several stoppages work was finally completed in 1843. It has recently been refurbished. This plan was from an archive formerly belonging to a Frederick W. King, a Royal Engineer who probably had some involvment with the construction of the tunnel. (1)
