This print showcases the magnificent Aveling and Porter Steam Roller UR1881, a true testament to British engineering prowess. Built around 1929, this steamroller stands tall at Ferndown in Dorset, exuding power and elegance. Aveling and Porter was a renowned manufacturer of agricultural engines and steamrollers, with Thomas Aveling and Richard Thomas Porter forming their partnership back in 1862. Their collaboration bore fruit three years later when they developed their first steam engine in 1865. By the early 1900s, their company had risen to become the largest producer of steamrollers worldwide.
