Statue of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Bronze monument on Victoria Embankment, England.
The statue depicts engineer Brunel standing with dividers in his hands, wearing Victorian attire on a Portland stone pedestal with flanking screens.
The Institute of Civil Engineers commissioned this sculpture in 1860, but it remained in storage until 1877 due to location discussions.
The Grade II listed statue represents British engineering excellence through its placement near the Thames, facing Waterloo Bridge where Brunel's works stood.
Visitors can reach the statue by walking along Victoria Embankment, positioned between Waterloo Bridge and Temple Underground station.
The statue's pedestal includes benches designed by architect Richard Norman Shaw, allowing people to rest while observing the monument.
