This print captures a momentous occasion in September 1923, as GWR proudly unveiled their first locomotive from Swindon Works after World War I. With meticulous attention to detail, GWR adorned this magnificent steam engine with exquisite Victorian-style trimmings that had long been abandoned by other companies. The polished brass safety valve bonnet gleams under the sunlight, reflecting a sense of pride and craftsmanship. A copper-capped chimney adds an elegant touch, symbolizing both durability and sophistication. The pre-war livery adorning this locomotive serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era.
