EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph print, titled "Building a Locomotive," depicts the intricate process of constructing a powerful steam engine in the early 20th century. Created by Thornton Oakley in the 1910s, this illustration was featured in Harper's Pictorial Library of the World War around 1920.
The image transports us to a bustling workshop in the United States, where skilled workers are diligently assembling parts and pieces to bring this magnificent locomotive to life. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing the precision and craftsmanship required for such a monumental task.
As we gaze upon this scene from over a century ago, we are reminded of the industrial prowess that defined America during this era. The construction of locomotives played a crucial role in shaping transportation infrastructure and driving economic growth across the country.
In the midst of World War I, when resources were scarce and demands were high, these workers persevered with determination and dedication to ensure that essential machinery like this locomotive could be built efficiently and effectively.
Through this print, we not only witness history unfolding before our eyes but also pay tribute to the hardworking individuals who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes to propel progress forward. It serves as a timeless reminder of America's ingenuity and resilience during challenging times.
