EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures George Moore's steam man, a remarkable invention from 1893 that was ahead of its time. The steam man is powered by a petrol-fired boiler and operated by a half horsepower engine, allowing it to reach impressive walking speeds of 7-9 mph. The exhaust from the machine cleverly exits through the helmet, while steam billows out through a cigar held in its mechanical hand. The intricate details of this woodcut illustration showcase the ingenuity and creativity of George Moore, who envisioned a future where technology and machinery could work together seamlessly. The juxtaposition of the old-fashioned tobacco elements - such as the cigar and tobacco packet - with cutting-edge industrial innovation creates a fascinating contrast that speaks to both tradition and progress. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when inventors like George Moore pushed boundaries and challenged norms in pursuit of new possibilities. The absence of people in the image allows us to focus solely on the intricate design and craftsmanship of this incredible invention. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements, while also highlighting the timeless appeal of human curiosity and imagination.
