The color lithograph, created by the American School in the 20th century, beautifully captures an important figure in history. In this image, we see James Watt as a young boy seated beside his grandmother's tea kettle. His eyes are fixed on the boiling water, captivated by the steam rising from it. This simple act of observation would later ignite his imagination and lead him to become one of Scotland's greatest inventors and engineers.

As we gaze at this scene, we can almost feel the heat radiating from the fire beneath the kettle, symbolizing both physical warmth and intellectual passion.
