Robert Dudley’s The Atlantic Telegraph

This ship chromolithograph is from Robert Charles Dudley’s The Atlantic Telegraph. The work was published in 1864. Dudley was hired by the Atlantic Telegraph Company to illustrate the transatlantic cable-laying expedition. This made Dudley’s art invaluable with his sketches and paintings appearing in almost every book devoted to the subject of the transatlantic cables.
