Dating back to 1890, this wood engraving provides a glimpse into the visionary mind of an engineering genius. The illustration depicts a side view of the vessel, revealing its unique and innovative design. Intriguingly, Ericsson initially envisioned a domed turret for his ironclad creation; however, he later modified it to feature a cylindrical one. This alteration highlights the meticulous attention to detail and constant refinement that characterized Ericsson's work. His blueprint represents not only technological advancement but also an embodiment of boundless ideas and creativity. The image exudes an air of industrial prowess as it portrays this nautical marvel in all its glory. With no people present in the picture, viewers are encouraged to focus solely on the intricate details meticulously captured by Western script hand writing techniques.
