This print showcases the iconic Mallard steam locomotive, a true masterpiece of engineering and speed. Created by artist MIKKEL JUUL JENSEN, this cutaway artwork provides an intricate look into the inner workings of the Class A4 steam locomotive 4468 Mallard. Known as the fastest steam locomotive in the world, Mallard achieved a record-breaking speed of 125.88 miles per hour (202.58 kilometres per hour) on July 3rd, 1938. Built in Doncaster, UK in 1938 and operated by the London and North Eastern Railway, Mallard's remarkable performance earned it a well-deserved retirement in 1936 after covering nearly an astonishing distance of 2.4 million kilometers. Nigel Gresley's brilliant design combined with its streamlined structure made Mallard not only a symbol of British engineering excellence but also an emblematic figure in railway history. With its sleek aerodynamic shape and powerful boiler system, this magnificent steam engine represents a significant milestone in mass transit evolution during the early decades of the twentieth century. The image captures both the technical intricacies that propelled Mallard to become a world record holder and its historical significance within British rail travel. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of Britain's industrial heritage, this stunning artwork invites viewers to marvel at both its artistic beauty and technological prowess while paying homage to one of England's most celebrated trains – forever etched into our collective memory as an emblematic symbol of speed and innovation
