EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Moore's groundbreaking invention, the steam man. Taken from "La Science Illustree" in Paris back in 1893, this image transports us to a time of remarkable innovation and technological advancements. In the frame, we see the full-length figure of George Moore's steam man standing tall and proud. The intricate machinery is on display, with its petrol-fired boiler powering a half horsepower engine that propels this marvel forward at an impressive walking speed of 7 to 9 miles per hour. The exhaust cleverly escapes through the helmet while steam billows out through what appears to be a cigar held between its metallic lips. The vertical composition emphasizes the grandeur and magnitude of this invention, highlighting its significance within the industrial landscape of that era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress. Although devoid of any human presence, this illustration beautifully captures two objects - man-made technology merging with artistic representation. Its placement indoors suggests it was taken during an exhibition or demonstration where spectators would have marveled at Moore's creation. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph print from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate how far we have come since then while acknowledging those who paved the way for modern-day innovations like robotics and automation – all inspired by visionaries such as George Moore himself.
