EDITORS COMMENTS

Created in 1820 by Shortshanks for the Edinburgh Review, this cartoon-like artwork depicts a bizarre and futuristic world where people are seen walking, riding, and even flying through the air using steam-powered contraptions. The image is filled with humor and variation as men and women can be seen operating teapot-shaped vehicles and aircrafts. The artist's imagination runs wild as they portray a society heavily reliant on steam power, resulting in explosions, dirtiness, and chaos. This satirical portrayal serves as a commentary on the rapid advancements in technology during that era. The color image showcases four individuals engaged in different modes of transport while highlighting the detrimental effects on the environment. It reminds us of our responsibility to consider sustainability when developing new transportation methods. This archival photography print from Hulton Archive offers a glimpse into history when steam power was at its peak. It serves as a reminder that even though technological progress brings convenience, it should not come at the cost of our planet's well-being.
