The Thames Tunnel by Thomas Talbot Bury is a significant work in the realm of architectural and engineering illustration, capturing one of the 19th century's most remarkable engineering feats. Published in 1836, this collection of hand-colored lithographs documents the construction and completion of the Thames Tunnel, the world's first underwater tunnel, which was designed by the eminent engineer Marc Isambard Brunel and his son, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The tunnel, which runs beneath the River Thames in London, was a groundbreaking project that overcame numerous technical challenges and set new standards in civil engineering.

Thomas Talbot Bury, an accomplished architect and artist, was commissioned to create a series of detailed illustrations that would convey the complexity and grandeur of the tunnel. His work provides a visual narrative of the construction process, from the initial stages of excavation to the final completion. Bury's lithographs are notable for their precision and attention to detail, capturing both the technical aspects of the engineering work and the human effort involved in the project.

The illustrations in The Thames Tunnel not only serve as an important historical record but also highlight the innovative techniques employed by the Brunels, such as the use of the tunneling shield, which allowed workers to excavate safely beneath the riverbed. Bury's work was widely acclaimed and remains a valuable resource for historians, engineers, and art enthusiasts alike. The Thames Tunnel itself, completed in 1843, became a major tourist attraction and a symbol of Victorian engineering prowess, and Bury's illustrations continue to be celebrated for their artistic and documentary significance.
