2006 marked the 200th anniversary of the bir th of the celebrated and controversial engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Many events were held across the UK and elsewhere to celebrate the bicentenary. Many of these were organized, funded or facilitated by Brunel200, an organization based in Bristol, UK, a city closely associated with Brunel and his work. Among the events organized for the bicentenary celebrations was the publication of Isambard Kingdom Brunel: A Graphic Biography (Byrne and Gurr 2006). Following a brief discussion of Brunel and his bicentenary, we publish the text of an interview with Eugene Byrne and Simon Gurr, author and illustrator of the book.

Key Words: Bristol • Brunel • centenary • commemoration • graphic biography
