EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Goldsworthy Gurney's Steam Carriage, one of the most successful models of its kind, built in the historic city of Bath, Britain, in 1827.

The Steam Carriage, a testament to the ingenuity of the Industrial Revolution, was a significant advancement in land transportation at the time. Its success came from its ability to travel efficiently on both dry roads and icy conditions, making it a versatile mode of transport.
