[edit] Summary

Description
English: Divers Preparing for Work. Front cover illustration of the February 6, 1873 Illustrated London News. While not labelled explicitly, the Wreck of the Northfleet, a major naval disaster, occurred on the 22nd of January, and an article in a previous issue mentions divers being sent to recover the bodies and other remains. It would presumably have been obvious what they were doing to readers of the time.
Français : Plongeurs se préparant au travail. Illustration de couverture de l'Illustraded London News du 6 février 1873. Bien que la référence ne soit pas explicite, cette illustration rapelle le naufrage du Northfleet, un grand désastre naval survenu le 22 janvier précédent. Un article paru dans un précédent numéro mentionne l'envoi de plongeurs pour récupérer les corps et les biens des victimes.
Português: Mergulhadores Preparando-se para o Trabalho. Ilustração de capa do Illustraded London News de 6 de Fevereiro de 1873. Embora não esteja referido de forma explícita, o naufrágio do Northfleet, um grande desastre naval, havia ocorrido no anterior dia 22 de Janeiro e um artigo de um número anterior referia o envio de mergulhadores para recuperar corpos e outros bens. Presume-se que seria óbvio o que os mergulhadores fariam para os leitores da época.
