Pencil sketch of a whimsical steam-powered vehicle with various components and figures: a horse in harness, a driver wearing a top hat, a bird in flight, a large bulbous structure atop the vehicle, and a person at the rear adjusting a wheel. The machine includes gauges, pipes, and a smokestack emitting a puff of smoke, all drawn on aged paper.
