Not a lot of people know that...

Brunel suffered a stroke shortly after that famous picture of him standing in front of the Great Eastern's chains and died ten days later. Smoking 40 cigars a day and probably did not help...

Excellent Dave. On a minor note it puts concerns about modern day fixer fumes into perspective.
