Watt's Steam Engine Patented
“A Birmingham workshop, 1769. James Watt and Matthew Boulton stand by the gleaming brass and iron of a Boulton & Watt rotative engine. Foreground shows Watt holding the new patent parchment and a sun-and-planet gear at rest; midground reveals an apprentice oiling the great cylinder and a model of an earlier Newcomen engine on a bench; through Georgian windows, brick chimneys of Soho Manufactory cough industrial smoke.”
