"Camden Town Engine House" is an 1837 lithograph by the English artist John Cooke Bourne, depicting the interior of the engine house at Camden Town, which was part of the London and Birmingham Railway. The lithograph is notable for its detailed representation of early Victorian industrial architecture and engineering, capturing the grandeur and scale of the steam engines that powered the railways, which were a symbol of the Industrial Revolution and a key factor in the transformation of British society during the 19th century.

John Cooke Bourne (1814–1896) was an artist and illustrator known for his works focusing on railway subjects, and his lithographs have been recognized for their historical value as well as their artistic merit. "Camden Town Engine House" is part of a series of prints that Bourne produced on the construction of the London and Birmingham Railway, one of the major railway projects of the time. These prints were published in a volume titled "Drawings of the London & Birmingham Railway" (1839), which provided a visual record of the railway's construction and the various structures associated with it.

The engine house in Camden Town was a vital component of the railway's operations, housing the stationary steam engines that hauled trains up the incline from Euston to Camden, before locomotives took over for the remainder of the journey. Bourne's lithograph captures the industrial might of these engines, with attention to the beams, gears, and other mechanical elements that made up the engine house's interior. His work serves as an important document of the era's engineering achievements and offers insight into the working conditions and technological advancements of the time.

As a historical document, "Camden Town Engine House" provides a glimpse into the early days of railway expansion in Britain, reflecting the intersection of art, technology, and society. It remains a significant piece for historians, art enthusiasts, and those interested in the evolution of transportation and industrial design.
