Using pen, ink, and wash on paper, Bourne masterfully depicts this iconic structure that played a crucial role in the construction of the Great Western Railway (GWR). The Engine House stands tall and proud against a backdrop of industrial activity, symbolizing progress and innovation during this era. Bourne's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures every architectural element of the building. From its sturdy brick walls to its towering chimney stacks, each stroke of his pen brings life to this magnificent structure.
