EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Then and Now: The Earliest and Latest Locomotive Engines, UK, 1881" takes us on a journey through time. In this remarkable image, we are presented with two iconic locomotives that represent the evolution of railway technology in the United Kingdom. On the left side of the print, we see an engraving showcasing the first locomotive ever built for commercial use. Designed by George Stephenson in 1825 for the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company, this historic steam engine revolutionized transportation during the Industrial Revolution. With its modest dimensions - cylinders measuring only 9 inches in diameter and wheels standing at 48 inches - it paved the way for future advancements. Contrasting with its predecessor is a magnificent express locomotive designed by D. Drummond for North British Railway Company in 1877. This powerful machine boasts impressive features such as larger cylinders, measuring stroke pistons of 24 inches and a total heating surface of 60 square feet. Weighing a staggering six tons to cwt. , it represents progress made over half a century. The combination of these two engravings offers us a glimpse into how far locomotive engineering had come within just fifty-six years. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an ode to technological advancement during the Victorian era. With its retro-styled aesthetic reminiscent of nineteenth-century engravings, this print from Liszt Collection captures not only historical significance but also showcases artistic excellence through illustrative techniques prevalent at that time. A true treasure for any history enthusiast or lover of vintage art!
