Isambard Kingdom Brunel is a man whose name has become synonymous
with the heroic and inventive engineering of the Victorian age. His
personal bravery, persuasive character and refusal to accept the
conventional boundaries of his profession led him to a wide range of
exceptional achievements.
Chris Morris and his camera track down this legacy, much of which
remains, to provide an unrivalled visual celebration of the great man
and his work. Alongside the graphic photography is a commentary
which reveals Brunel to be as much a visionary as an engineer.
'From the grand gesture to the minute detail: Chris Morris offers an
extraordinary visual feast'
– Sir Neil Cossons, Chairman, English
Heritage
