A re-working of the classic Isambard Kingdom Brunel photograph
Something I'd been wanting to do for a while, also used as the cover image to the 3rd Steampunk Literary review, with a simple twist on the classic Isambard Kingdom Brunel photograph, framing IKB with skulls instead of the more familiar backdrop of the launching chains of the SS Great Eastern. The idea was to do something that hinted at the human cost of the industrial revolution, but the truth is IKB was actually one of the better engineers to work for with regards to worker mortality. Hey ho, artistic license?
