Framed Print of Rainhill Trials, October 1829
Rainhill Trials, October 1829. These trials for early steam locomotives were run at Rainhill, near Liverpool, UK, to determine which would be used on the newly-completed railway from Liverpool to Manchester. Ten trains entered, but only five competed. The two shown here are the Rocket (right, by George Stephenson) the Sanspareil (left, by Timothy Hackworth). The Sanspareil completed 8 of the required 10 trips before suffering engine failure. It was later used on the railway, along with the winner, the Rocket, the only locomotive to complete the trials. Artwork from the third volume (first period of 1889) of the French popular science weekly La Science Illustree.
