Audio slideshow: Brunel's achievements revisited
"It is 150 years since the death of Robert Howlett - the young photographer who took this iconic image of engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
"Robert Howlett died - in December 1858 - from a fever, most likely caused by exposure to the poisonous photographic chemicals that he used.
"Intrigued by how the Brunel photograph was created, photojournalist David White set out - using non toxic methods - to recreate some of Howlett's images.
"With a specially-made camera, he travelled across south and west England to view Brunel's extensive legacy".

Oliver THANKS for featuring Paul Kerleys excellent audio slideshow about David's work.
Hi O,
When I use your link I get "404-page not found". Went to beeb and found the story and slideshow and it seems to be exactly the same URL. Strange.
