Who is this man, in this strong portrait by Linnell? He is an important and celebrated Cornishman. He was born in the month of April in the year 1771. He died in the month of April in the year 1833. He is Richard Trevithick. His father was a mining captain near Carn Brea. Their house was in Tregajorran, a pretty little hamlet. Trevithick was an engineer. He designed a steam engine. Tomorrow he will be remembered in Camborne - with lots of steam engines, and with music and dance. The man in the portrait is pointing to something in the distance. What is that? Can you see steam? Is he in Cornwall or Wales or Peru?
