- Object name(s):
- Photograph of the Brunels' house at 26 Cow Court, Rotherhithe
- Brief description:
- Albumen print of a house, mounted on card, with a printed portrait of Marc Isambard Brunel below. On the reverse, signed by William Gastineau (1821-72). The house has been identified as 26 Cow Court, home of Marc Isambard Brunel and Sophia Kingdom from 1835. The photograph is almost certainly commemorative, datable to after the death of Marc Isambard Brunel in 1849. For another copy of this photograph, on a different mount, see SS Great Britain, Bristol, 2014.03199. A similar image (SS Great Britain, Bristol, 2014.03254) of the house in which Marc Brunel was born in France suggests the possibility that a series was compiled of different houses related to the family.
