EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Outline of Growth of the Locomotive Engine, 1771-1840," offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of the locomotive engine during its formative years. The illustration, created in 1885, meticulously outlines the development of these early engineering marvels, from the initial concepts of Newcomen's atmospheric engine in 1771 to the more advanced designs of George Stephenson's Blücher engine in 1840. Each engine is illustrated in detail, with essential measurements included for a better understanding of their size and complexity. The progression is evident as the engines grow larger and more intricate, reflecting the advancements in technology and engineering know-how. Scene inserts add depth to the narrative, providing context to the development of these engines. One such scene depicts Hetton Colliery, showcasing the practical application of these early locomotives in the mining industry. The inclusion of Theodore West's Darlington Railway engine further emphasizes the significance of these innovations in shaping the future of transportation. This print serves as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and inventors who brought the locomotive engine to life. It is a visual representation of the evolution from the early, rudimentary designs to the more sophisticated machines that would come to define the railway age. This print is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of engineering and transportation.
