Losh and Stephensons carriage
Losh and Stephensons carriage. Historical artwork of a steam locomotive patented in 1815 by engineer George Stephenson (1781-1848). This design had connecting rods to drive the wheels and wheels coupled together with a chain. It was the first to have a steam-blast, which creates a draft to keep the fire going in the furnace. Stephensons locomotives were built at William Loshs ironworks in Newcastle. The pair patented cast iron railroads in 1816, but parted company in 1823 when Stephenson decided that malleable iron railroads were better. Published in History and progress of the steam engine, England, 1830

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Losh and Stephensons carriage, a groundbreaking steam locomotive that revolutionized transportation in the 19th century. Patented in 1815 by esteemed engineer George Stephenson, this historical artwork depicts the innovative design featuring connecting rods driving the wheels and wheels coupled together with a chain. What sets this locomotive apart is its pioneering steam-blast technology, which ingeniously creates a draft to maintain the fire in the furnace. Built at William Losh's ironworks in Newcastle, Stephenson's locomotives were truly trailblazers of their time. The duo even patented cast iron railroads in 1816 before parting ways seven years later when Stephenson determined that malleable iron railroads held greater promise. Published as part of "History and progress of the steam engine" in England during 1830, this print offers us a glimpse into an era where technological advancements were rapidly transforming society. With its roots deeply intertwined with coal mining and railway carriages, this monumental invention paved the way for British engineering excellence. As we admire this image captured by Science Photo Library, let us appreciate how George Stephenson's ingenuity forever changed our world - propelling humanity towards new frontiers of progress and connectivity through his revolutionary steam engine.
