EDITORS COMMENTS
This side elevation print, titled "Unidentified Locomotive No 11257," is an intriguing piece of railway history. The image, created by J. Gabriel around 1857, bears the influence of EB Wilson's famous "Jenny Lind" design from 1848, but with notable differences. The most striking omissions are the fluting of the dome, the whistle, and the hand rail not carried round in front of the chimney. The print is inscribed on the reverse with the presentation details: "Presented to me by Mr AL Clifford of 32 St Pauls Crescent, Camden Town NW, 23 Decr 1901, EW (Edgar Worthington)." The absence of any company insignia suggests that this locomotive was an individual piece or perhaps a prototype. The intrigue surrounding this print lies in its unidentified nature. Despite the detailed depiction, the specific model or class of the locomotive remains a mystery. The print offers a glimpse into the evolution of railway locomotive design during the mid-19th century, showcasing the artistic skill of J. Gabriel and the collecting interests of Edgar Worthington.
