This print captures a momentous achievement in the world of locomotives. Taken during a trial run, this new German streamlined locomotive built by the renowned Borsig locomotive works reached an astonishing speed of 119 miles an hour. The photograph, featured in "Railway Wonders of the World, Vol. 2" published by The Amalgamated Press Limited in London in 1935-36, showcases the remarkable engineering and design that went into creating this cutting-edge machine. The image portrays the exterior of the locomotive against a backdrop of industrial buildings at Lew Hennigsdorf, Germany. Its sleek and aerodynamic shape is evident as it stands proudly on its tracks, ready to conquer new frontiers in transportation. Cecil J Allen's keen eye for detail captured every aspect of this groundbreaking concept with precision.

It reminds us that even amidst challenging times like those faced during the 1930s, there were individuals pushing boundaries and striving for greatness.
