EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Fowler Ploughing Engine number 1641, registration number NR 1212, at work in the quintessential English countryside on 25 July 1970. The Fowler Ploughing Engine, a classic example of steam transport technology, is seen here in its element, ploughing a field at Kegworth. The engine, with its distinctive red and black livery, exudes an air of power and determination as it tills the soil, leaving a trail of rich, turned earth in its wake. The 1970s were a time of transition, with the steam age giving way to the modern era of transportation. Yet, the Fowler Ploughing Engine remained a steadfast symbol of tradition and rural life. Its large, robust wheels and intricate mechanical details speak to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The photograph, part of The William Kerry Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam power reigned supreme and the rhythmic clatter of the engine was the soundtrack of rural life. This image is not only a testament to the enduring appeal of steam transport but also a reminder of the connection between man and machine, nature and industry, that continues to inspire and fascinate us today.
