Henry Hoppner Meyer, portrait print (1832), National Library of Wales, Public Domain Mark 1.0 · Engraved portrait of Thomas Telford, 'Painted & Engraved by Hy. Meyer', published by Fisher, Son and Co., London, 1832 (lifetime print, titled 'Thomas Telford Esq. F.R.S. L & E, President of the Institution of Civil Engineers'), held and digitised by the National Library of Wales (item 4672045; 1 print, line and stipple engraving, 201 x 131 mm). Rights basis: (1) the library's own IIIF manifest for the item, which I read live, marks it with the Public Domain Mark 1.0 licence and credits the National Library of Wales; (2) independent of that, the print was published in London in 1832 and the artist Henry Hoppner Meyer (1782-1847, the library's catalogue dates) died long ago, so it is in the public domain in the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere by age; the NLW catalogue record page itself was behind a bot-check and could not be opened, so the item-level terms were read from the manifest and I found no conflicting copyright notice. Lead check: the lead's preflight named this same print as its initial lead. Caveats: the print is a later reproduction of Meyer's painting rather than a documented sitting, so it is recorded as a historical depiction; the file is a crop of the print area (colour-checker strip and scanner border removed) downloaded from the library's image server at 775 x 1200 pixels from a 2144 x 3564 pixel original, downscaled only, never upscaled; the print retains the plate caption and facsimile signature. · Public domain (published 1832; Public Domain Mark 1.0 on the National Library of Wales item)

핵심 특성
주요 업적
석공의 아들로 태어나 영국에서 가장 저명한 토목기술자 중 한 사람이 된 텔퍼드는 수백 건의 도로·운하·교량·항만 사업을 설계하거나 자문했으며, 영국토목학회(ICE)는 그를 '토목공학의 아버지'라 부른다.
폰트시실테 수로교(2009년 세계유산), 칼레도니아 운하(1804~22), 메나이 현수교(1819~26, 경간 약 580피트)가 대표작이며, 칼레도니아 운하는 계획 7년·47만 4천 파운드와 달리 12년에 91만 파운드가 들었다.
1820년 영국토목학회의 초대 회장이 된 그는 1828년 왕실 헌장을 얻는 데 주도적 역할을 했고, 유언으로 학회에 최대 규모의 기부금과 자신의 장서·도면·문서를 남겼다.
삶의 장면들
메나이 다리의 쇠사슬을 올리기 전에 그는 이 다리가 당시 시도된 가장 큰 현수교였고 실패가 예견되었기 때문에 모든 부분을 반복 실험으로 꼼꼼히 시험하게 했다.
이는 새 설계를 실행하기 전에 시험해 보는 습관과 부합하지만, 이 기록은 그를 찬미한 빅토리아 시대 전기에 근거한다. 실험 성향
21년간 칼레도니아 운하의 총괄 기술자로 일하는 동안 의회 보고서상 그가 받은 보수는 연 237파운드였고, 영국수산협회의 항만 사업은 보수 없이 맡았다고 한다.
이는 개인 수입보다 공공 사업을 중시한 태도와 부합하지만, 보수 수치와 무보수 활동은 주로 찬미적 전기 한 권을 통해 알려져 있다. 영향 창출 동기
전환점
1793년 운하 건설 경험이 없는 채 엘즈미어 운하의 기술자로 임명된 그는 토공에 대해 윌리엄 제솝의 조언을 구한 뒤 치크와 폰트시실테의 주철 수조 수로교를 설계했고, 이로써 전국적 명성을 얻었다.
이는 도움을 구하며 새로운 공학 분야를 빠르게 익히는 태도와 부합하지만, 스마일스의 각주는 철제 수조를 누가 처음 제안했는지를 둘러싼 이견을 전한다. 숙련 지향

- 'Thomas Telford: The Father of Civil Engineering', Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Meet the Engineers (read in full, about 1,100 words). CANONICAL SIGNIFICANCE SOURCE: the professional body he led as first president states his significance (canals, roads, bridges and harbours; the Caledonian Canal, the Ellesmere Canal, the London to Holyhead road, the Menai suspension bridge, consultancy for Sweden, Russia and North America), that he was approached by Henry Palmer to give the young institution leadership and prestige, that he was the driving force behind its 1828 Royal Charter, and that he left it his largest donation (over 3,000 pounds), books, drawings and papers. An institution's commemorative profile of its own first president, so admiring in tone.
- 'Thomas Telford', Encyclopaedia Britannica (read in full, about 500 words). Reference biography: mason who educated himself to become an architect, surveyor of public works for Shropshire from 1786, engineer to the Ellesmere Canal from 1793 (the Chirk and Pontcysyllte aqueducts brought him national fame), the Caledonian Canal, Highland harbours and more than 900 miles of roads from 1803, the Conwy and Menai suspension bridges as his crowning achievement, first president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, and the 2009 World Heritage designation of Pontcysyllte.
- W. Ll. Davies, 'Telford, Thomas (1757-1834), civil engineer', Dictionary of Welsh Biography (National Library of Wales, 1959; read in full, about 800 words). Concise scholarly entry focused on his Welsh and Border work: the Ellesmere Canal aqueducts at Chirk (1796-1801) and Pontcysyllte (1795-1805), the Holyhead road, and the Menai suspension bridge (Parliament's select committee recommended his design after other engineers including John Rennie had commented; work 1819 to about 1825) and the Conwy bridge.
- 'Thomas Telford', Westminster Abbey, Famous people (read in full, about 450 words). The Abbey's commemorative entry: buried in the nave in 1834, with a gravestone naming him president of the Institution of Civil Engineers and a statue (E. H. Baily, 1839) whose inscription calls him an orphan shepherd's son, self-educated, who rose by talents and integrity from an operative mason to one of the most eminent civil engineers of the age; he died unmarried.
- Samuel Smiles, 'The Life of Thomas Telford, Civil Engineer' (London, 1867; Project Gutenberg text read in the chapters on the Ellesmere Canal, the Menai bridge and Telford's later years and character, plus targeted searches; the book is long and was not read cover to cover). A Victorian, admiring biography built on Telford's own letters, his autobiographical notes and parliamentary returns, so it reaches us partly as self-report; it also records a dispute with the Jessop memoirist over who proposed the iron trough.
- 'Caledonian Canal history and heritage', Scottish Canals (read in full, about 350 words). The canal's present-day owner states that the work was expected to take seven years at 474,000 pounds but took twelve years at 910,000 pounds (opened 1822), and that defects in construction material caused a partial collapse of the Corpach locks and the Cullochy bank in the 1840s, repaired by James Walker. COUNTER-VOICE source on cost, time and durability.
- 'Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal', UNESCO World Heritage Centre, list entry 1303 (read in the synthesis, criteria and integrity sections). Describes the aqueduct as a pioneering masterpiece of engineering by Telford built with metal arches on tall slender masonry piers, his first great masterpiece that formed the basis of his international reputation, and notes that the historic rubble embankments later gave stability and waterproofing problems.
- 'Thomas Telford Esq. F.R.S. L & E, President of the Institution of Civil Engineers', portrait print painted and engraved by Henry Hoppner Meyer, published by Fisher, Son and Co., London, 1832, National Library of Wales item 4672045 (IIIF manifest, licence marked Public Domain Mark 1.0).
