This print, a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the Industrial Revolution, showcases the second iteration of their groundbreaking "Blakeley" engine. The Blakeley engine was a significant improvement over previous locomotive designs, featuring a more efficient boiler and a larger firebox, allowing for increased steam pressure and power output. The engine's cylinders were also placed below the boiler, improving the weight distribution and stability of the locomotive.
