EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) showcases George Moore's groundbreaking invention, the steam man. Dating back to 1893 in London, this remarkable piece of machinery was way ahead of its time. The full-length image captures the essence of this technological marvel, with its helmeted structure and intricate machinery on display. The steam man boasted a petrol-fired boiler that operated a half-horsepower engine, propelling it at an impressive walking speed of 7 to 9 miles per hour. The ingenuity behind this creation is evident in every detail captured by the woodcut illustration. The exhaust cleverly escapes through both the helmet and a cigar-shaped outlet, adding an unexpected touch of whimsy to this industrial masterpiece. In an era marked by rapid advancements in industry and technology, George Moore's steam man stands as a testament to human innovation and creativity. This photograph transports us back to a time when inventors like Moore pushed boundaries and defied expectations. Displayed indoors against a horizontal backdrop, the absence of people allows us to focus solely on these two objects - the embodiment of human imagination brought to life through artistry. It serves as a reminder that even without commercial intentions or mentionable affiliations, extraordinary inventions can leave an indelible mark on history. Whether you're fascinated by historical milestones or simply appreciate artistic representations of human achievement, this print offers a glimpse into an era where dreams became reality through sheer determination and ingenuity.
