EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the three-wheeled mechanical car built by Dr. William Church in Birmingham, England in 1833. The engraving, created in 1895 by John Cooke, beautifully captures the intricacies and ingenuity of this pioneering invention. Dr. William Church, a brilliant mind ahead of his time, designed this revolutionary vehicle during an era when transportation was still predominantly horse-drawn. This unique creation marked a significant step towards the modernization of public transport. The image transports us back to the early 19th century, where we can almost hear the clatter of wheels on cobblestone streets and feel the excitement surrounding this groundbreaking innovation.

It reminds us that even centuries ago, British inventors were at the forefront of technological breakthroughs that continue to impact our lives today. In preserving this momentous piece of history through his artistry, Jaime Abecasis invites us to appreciate both the beauty and significance of this extraordinary feat in transportation evolution.
