Locomotion Plate 2nd, c1835 - A Whimsical Glimpse into the Perils of Steam-Powered Transport
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the early 19th century when steam-powered transport was a novel concept. Created by artist Seymour Del Shortshanks and based on a drawing by Robert Seymour, this satirical sketch humorously depicts the challenges faced by those embracing this new mode of transportation. The image showcases an array of peculiar vehicles traversing a bustling street. Men in various outfits can be seen donning hats as they navigate through a colorful mix of flying machines and steam carriages. The scene is filled with whimsy and imagination as people take to the skies with wings attached to their backs or glide along railway tracks in unconventional contraptions. This engraving, published by Thomas McLean in London's Haymarket district, captures both the excitement and trepidation surrounding progress during that era. It serves as a reminder that even then, society grappled with finding balance between tradition and innovation. With its vibrant colors and clever caricatures, Locomotion Plate 2nd offers us a glimpse into an era where road transport collided with air travel aspirations. This unique piece from The Connoisseur collection provides not only amusement but also insight into how our ancestors viewed technological advancements during the turn of the 20th century.
