The engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a scene filled with anticipation and adventure. In this dramatic depiction, we witness a steam locomotive adorned with French flags and Chinese lanterns, symbolizing the harmonious collaboration between France and China.

The image exudes excitement as the driver prepares to embark on an inaugural journey through uncharted territories. This groundbreaking innovation not only signifies progress but also opens doors for exploration and cultural exchange between Europe and Asia.
