Locomotora

by Francisco Farreras

1890

 

Francisco Farreras was a Spanish engineering draughtsman living and working in the late 19th century.

Locomotives revolutionised transportation. They became a fascination for the population, as they opened up countries and new possibilities.

Even though this was created as an immaculately detailed technical drawing, we love the sense of whimsy in the typeface as well as the playful colour palette.

The original drawing was made with pen, ink and watercolour on wove paper.

The original work is held by Drawing Matter, an organisation that explores the role of drawing in architectural thought and practice. We have collaborated with them to bring highlights from their extraordinary collection to a wider audience. Explore Drawing Matter here

Frame depths vary from 33-48mm depending on the size selected.

Our frames are fitted with an FSC timber sub-frame, providing stability and longevity to the outer frame and glass.

Your frame is designed to be hung using the split batten method (hanging guide here). This enables your frame to sit flush against the wall. If you would prefer the more traditional option of D-rings and picture wire instead, please leave a note for us at the cart when you place the order.
