This print showcases the Spanish traction engine Alfonso, designed by the renowned Spanish engineer Pedro de Ribera during the late 19th century. The intricately detailed engraving highlights Alfonso's distinctive features, including its prominent chimney stack, vibrant colors, and ornate design elements. The age of industrial revolution brought about significant advancements in transportation technology, and Alfonso represents the self-propelled locomobile engine that revolutionized the way goods and passengers were transported on roads. This portable engine, with its impressive steam power, was a marvel of contemporary engineering. Pedro de Ribera's mastery of engineering is evident in every line and curve of Alfonso. The man in the print, standing beside the engine, provides a sense of scale and underscores the immense size and power of the machine. The smoke billowing from the chimney adds a dynamic element, emphasizing the engine's strength and capability. Alfonso's historical significance lies in its role as a precursor to modern locomotives and its impact on the transportation industry in Spain. This engraving is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time, offering a glimpse into the past and the transformative power of engineering during the industrial revolution.
