Isambard Kingdom Brunel Standing Before the Launching Chains of the Great Eastern is a photograph taken by Robert Howlett in November 1857. It shows Brunel, the British engineer, during the troubled first attempt to launch the SS Great Eastern, by far the largest ship constructed to that date. Brunel stands before a drum of chain used during the launching of the vessel; he carries his customary cigar case and his boots and trousers are muddy. Brunel is smoking a cigar and his waistcoat is askew. His pose has been described as casual and self-assured. The image has become iconic of the industrial era and the 19th century and has been included in many published collections of photographs. It was widely reproduced at the time of the ship's eventual launch in January 1858 and again after Brune

- Isambard Kingdom Brunel Standing Before the Launching Chains of the Great Eastern est une photographie prise par Robert Howlett en novembre 1857. Elle montre Brunel, l'ingénieur britannique, pendant la première tentative de lancement du SS Great Eastern, de loin le plus gros navire construit à cette date. Brunel se tient devant un grand tambour de chaîne utilisé pour retenir le navire pendant qu'il est descendu sur la rampe de lancement. Le pantalon et les bottes de Brunel sont couverts de boue, provenant du chantier naval, et il fume un de ses cigares habituels. Sa pose a été décrite comme décontractée et assurée. L'image est devenue une icône de l'ère industrielle et du XIXe siècle et a été incluse dans de nombreuses collections de photographies publiées. Elle a été largement reproduite (fr)
