The International Exhibition: Messrs. Maudslay's engines of 800-horse power for the Valiant, 1862. Creator: Mallett
The International Exhibition: Messrs. Maudslay's engines of 800-horse power for the Valiant, 1862. Motive power for steamships. The largest marine engines exhibited were those by Messrs. Maudslay, intended for the Valiant; they are of 800-horse power nominally, but capable of being worked up to a much larger amount. Portions of engines 1850-horse power were exhibited by both Maudslay and Penn. The crank-shaft exhibited by the latter was a splendid piece of wrought iron, beautifully finished. In the eastern annexe was a crank-shaft of similar dimensions, made at the Mersey Ironworks, left exactly in the state it came from the hammer. It weighs about 23 tons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the impressive display of Messrs. Maudslay's engines of 800-horse power for the Valiant at the 1862 International Exhibition. The sheer size and power of these steamship engines are truly awe-inspiring, showcasing the pinnacle of industrial innovation during the Victorian era.
The intricate details of the machinery, from the beautifully finished crank-shaft to the enormous scale of the engine components, highlight the precision and craftsmanship that went into creating such advanced technology. The engraving by Mallett perfectly captures this moment in history when steam power revolutionized transportation and industry.
As you gaze upon this historic image, you can almost feel yourself transported back to a time when Britain led the world in technological advancements.
