1. Title: A Glance into the Past: The Newcomen Engine in Action at a Coal Mine in the Midlands, 1790s This evocative print transports us back in time to the heart of the Industrial Revolution, showcasing the groundbreaking Newcomen engine in operation at a coal mine in the Midlands during the 1790s. The Newcomen engine, a precursor to the more efficient Watt steam engine, revolutionized mining by providing an efficient means of pumping water from flooded coal mines. In this image, we see the Newcomen engine adapted for rotary motion, a significant improvement over the original design that used reciprocating motion. This adaptation allowed the engine to pump water continuously, increasing its productivity. The engine is featured prominently in the center of the print, its massive piston and cylinder surrounded by a cloud of steam. The engine is raised on a substantial stone base, with a large flywheel attached at the top. A whimsey, a vertical wheel with a rope and pulley system, is visible at the left side of the engine. This device was used to wind up coal from the mine, providing a crucial link between the surface and the underground workings. The print also reveals the bustling activity surrounding the engine. Workers are visible in the background, shoveling coal into baskets and loading them onto carts. The scene is a testament to the labor-intensive nature of coal mining during this era, with men and boys working long hours in often dangerous conditions to extract the valuable resource. Overall, this print offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and determination of the people who shaped the Industrial Revolution and transformed the coal mining industry in the Midlands during the 1790s.
