EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate depiction of a steam-powered automobile named Gear, with both front and side views, as it ascends a steep hill. Dating back to the late 18th century, around 1795, this engineering marvel was a testament to human ingenuity and the dawn of the motor age. The front view of Gear reveals its robust and meticulously designed steam engine, complete with intricate pipes and valves. A thick rope, attached to the front axle, is tautly stretched, ready to pull the vehicle forward. The driver, clad in a heavy coat and scarf, maintains a firm grip on the wheel, his intense focus reflecting the gravity of the situation. The side view offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the automobile, with its intricate planetary gears and complex mechanical components. The steam engine's cylinders and pistons can be seen, as well as the crankshaft and connecting rods. The intricate web of rods and gears underscores the intricacy and complexity of this early form of transportation. This print, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the pioneering spirit of inventors like James Watt, Richard Trevithick, and William Newcomen, who laid the groundwork for the modern transportation industry. The steam engine, with its revolutionary power, transformed the way people and goods were transported, paving the way for the industrial revolution and the age of motoring.
