EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two remarkable steam engines from the 19th century. On the left, we have a Ransomes and Sims 20 horse-power portable engine, while on the right stands May and Company's double-cylinder horizontal engine. Both machines are marvels of technology and represent the advancements made during this era. The Ransomes and Sims portable engine boasts a powerful piston-driven mechanism that enabled it to be easily transported wherever needed. Its large wheels provided stability as it moved across various terrains, making it an essential tool for industries such as agriculture and construction. In contrast, May and Company's double-cylinder horizontal engine exhibits a more compact design with its cylinders arranged side by side. This configuration allowed for smoother operation and increased efficiency in power generation. The intricate details of this machine highlight the craftsmanship involved in creating these complex engines. The vibrant colors used in this engraving bring life to these historic artifacts, reminding us of their significance in revolutionizing industries through steam power. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but appreciate how far technology has come since the nineteenth century. This print is part of The Print Collector collection curated by an unknown creator who sought to preserve these glimpses into our industrial past for future generations to admire and learn from.
