ОписаниеLetter from J. Gibson to Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Written from Paddington Station, London. The original letter accompanied a sample of wood painted with 'silicated soda' paint to render the wood surface inflammable, or at least hard to set alight which Gibson thinks might be useful for coating the paper mache or other linings of the Big Ship.
