EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the awe-inspiring scene of steam ploughing with Boydell's engine near Louth in August 1871. The impressive traction engine, with its three sets of double ploughs, was a technological marvel of the time, capable of ploughing one acre in just 73 minutes. The image shows a large group of onlookers, numbering approximately 21 people, gathered to witness this historical event. Dressed in their finest attire, they observe the proceedings with great interest, some even taking notes or sketching the scene. The steam engine, with its large cylinders and intricate machinery, was a sight to behold, and its ability to revolutionize agriculture by making ploughing more efficient and less labor-intensive, was a significant import for the agricultural community. This engraving is a testament to the decadence of the Victorian era, where technological innovations were celebrated and shared with great enthusiasm. The image, published in the Illustrated London News on July 21, 1871, remains an important historical document, showcasing the transition from traditional farming methods to more mechanized agriculture.
