BBC slide show.

It is 150 years since the death of Robert Howlett - the young photographer who took this iconic image of engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Photojournalist David White tries to recreate the camera and photograph the engineering feats of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

There is a photo and an audio description on using the camera included in the slide show.
