EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating chromolitho print showcases British inventor Henry Bell and his groundbreaking steamboat, Comet, in 1812. This historical illustration is taken from Bubbles, a renowned children's book edited by Dr Barnardo in London, 1902. Henry Bell (1767-1830) revolutionized transportation with his innovative steamboat design. The Comet was a marvel of engineering and invention during its time. It symbolizes the power of human ingenuity and the progress made in early twentieth-century Europe. With its paddle wheel steamer mechanism, the Comet swiftly navigated rivers across Scotland and Great Britain. Its success marked a significant milestone in passenger transportation as it provided efficient means of travel for people at that time. The print also hints at Henry Bell's fascination with astronomy as it features a comet soaring through the sky above the steamboat. This celestial element adds an air of wonder to this remarkable piece of history. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to both the portrait of Henry Bell and his magnificent creation. They capture the spirit of innovation that fueled scientific advancements during this era. This print serves as a testament to not only Henry Bell's achievements but also to Scotland's rich engineering heritage and Great Britain's contributions to technological progress throughout history.
