EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Fowler's patent engine and windlass for steam-ploughing, showcased at the International Exhibition of 1862 in London. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the agricultural innovations of the 19th century. John Fowler, a renowned British agricultural engineer, designed this steam engine to power agricultural machinery, marking a significant step towards mechanisation in farming. The engine, with its impressive size and intricate details, is accompanied by a windlass, which was used to raise and lower the ploughshare. This photograph is a testament to the cultural and scientific advancements of the era. The International Exhibition of 1862, also known as the Great London Exposition, was a world fair that brought together various nations to display their latest inventions and innovations. The exhibition played a pivotal role in promoting trade and fostering international cooperation. The print, engraved from an original illustration, offers a fascinating insight into the Industrial Revolution and the role of steam power in transforming agriculture. The steam engine, with its winding gear and other mechanical components, is a symbol of the ingenuity and creativity of the period. The print, from the archives of The Print Collector, is a valuable addition to any collection focused on the 19th century, agriculture, or the history of technology. It serves as a reminder of the significant role that agricultural innovations played in shaping the modern world and the importance of cultural events in showcasing these advancements.
