EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tractor Hauling Cannon In Late 19th Century Loses Control" takes us back to a time when machinery was still in its infancy. Published in The Strand Magazine in 1896, this illustration captures a moment of sheer danger and chaos. In the late 19th century, as technology rapidly advanced, tractors were introduced to aid heavy-duty tasks like hauling cannons. However, this particular scene depicts an unfortunate turn of events. The tractor that was meant to control the cannon's movement has lost control itself. With smoke billowing from its exhaust pipes and wheels spinning uncontrollably, it hurtles forward at breakneck speed. The runaway tractor poses an imminent threat not only to those operating it but also to anyone who happens to be nearby. This image serves as a stark reminder of the risks involved with early machinery and the potential consequences when things go awry. Ken Welsh's expertly captured illustration conveys both the power and vulnerability inherent in these mechanical marvels of yesteryears. It transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the perils faced by our ancestors as they pushed boundaries and embraced progress. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel a sense of awe mingled with trepidation for those brave souls who dared harness such raw power during the late 19th century.
