EDITORS COMMENTS
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. The image captures an era gone by; it takes us back to circa 1959 when this impressive machine still roamed the streets of Dorset. Its robust construction is evident as it proudly displays its craftsmanship against a backdrop of simpler times. This photograph not only celebrates the beauty of this historic vehicle but also pays homage to the ingenuity that shaped our transportation industry. It serves as a reminder that progress is built upon foundations laid by visionaries like Aveling and Porter. Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly preserved this moment from history through their exceptional collection of prints online. This image invites us to appreciate both the artistry behind these machines and how they have shaped our world today.
