The cover is adorned with an engraving of a tunnel, symbolizing the engineering marvels that lay within the pages of the document. The title, "Projet de Tunnel sous le Canal de l'Isle de France," translates to "Project for a Tunnel under the Isle de France Channel." This proposed tunnel was intended to connect the French territories of Reunion and Mauritius, located in the Indian Ocean, and would have revolutionized transportation between the two islands. The inscription at the bottom of the page, "Par Thome de Gamond," adds a personal touch to the historical artifact. Thome de Gamond's name is written boldly, emphasizing his role as the author of this groundbreaking proposal. The year, 1857, is also prominently displayed, providing a clear indication of the time in which this engineering vision was conceived. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of transportation engineering, specifically the development of tunnels, during the 19th century.
