This black-and-white technical illustration depicts an early steam-powered road vehicle, likely from the mid-to-late 19th century, featuring a prominent vertical boiler, horizontal steam cylinder, and complex linkage driving the rear axle. Large wooden-spoked wheels, a driver’s seat with tiller steering, and visible valve gear highlight its mechanical sophistication. The design reflects transitional engineering between horse-drawn carriages and modern automobiles.

Used on museum websites, educational history pages, or vintage automotive blogs to illustrate pre-20th-century transportation technology; targets users researching industrial revolution innovations, steam engines, or automotive origins.
