Artist's Description
Edward Somerset, 2nd Marquess of Worcester (March 9, 1603 - April 3, 1667) was an English nobleman involved in royalist politics, and an inventor. In 1655 he authored "The Century of Inventions", detailing more than 100 inventions, including a device that would have been one of the earliest steam engines. It was eventually printed in 1663 and included a device described as his "water-commanding engine". Constructed from the barrel of a cannon, it was an obvious prototype design for what would later become the steam engine, and clearly anticipated the power and applications of that machine. In 1663 Samuel Sorbière visited Edward's Vauxhall workshop and saw and described the "hydraulic machine which the Marquis of Worcester has invented." It was designed for purposes of irrigation, and would "raise to the height of forty feet, by the strength of one man and in the space of one minute of time, four large buckets of water."
