Northumbrian

This lithograph, originally published in London in 1894, is titled Locomotive Engine, 'The Rocket', 1830. However, despite the title, the locomotive depicted is not in fact Rocket, which was yellow at the time, and of a different external design. The locomotive is actually Stephenson's 1830 locomotive Northumbrian.
