Nikolaus Otto, German engineer C016 / 8868
Nikolaus August Otto (1832-1891), German engineer. Otto invented or worked on several early internal combustion engines, including one in 1862 and the Otto-Langen engine of 1864. The most successful was the Otto Silent Engine (or Rings-Schumm engine) of 1876. Using in-cylinder compression and the principle of the Otto cycle, it forms the basis of modern car engines. This photograph is courtesy of the Otto Engine Company, Philadelphia, USA. It was published in The Epic of Industry (1926), volume 5 of The Pageant of America: A Pictorial History of the United States. This was a 15-volume series that commemorated 150 years since the founding of the USA in 1776

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Nikolaus Otto, a renowned German engineer whose contributions revolutionized the world of transportation. Known for his pioneering work on early internal combustion engines, Otto's inventions laid the foundation for modern car engines that we rely on today. The photograph, courtesy of the Otto Engine Company in Philadelphia, USA, captures Otto's determined gaze and confident demeanor. Published in "The Epic of Industry" in 1926 as part of "The Pageant of America: A Pictorial History of the United States" this image commemorates 150 years since the founding of the USA. In this monochrome portrait, we see a distinguished European man with a signature style and an air of authority. His remarkable achievements as an inventor are evident through his association with notable engine designs such as the Otto-Langen engine and his most successful creation - the groundbreaking Otto Silent Engine (also known as Rings-Schumm engine). Otto's brilliance lies in incorporating in-cylinder compression and developing the principle behind what is now known as the Otto cycle. This technological breakthrough propelled advancements in transportation and shaped industries worldwide. As we delve into history through this image, it serves as a reminder that great minds like Nikolaus August Otto have paved our path to progress by pushing boundaries and transforming ideas into reality.
