EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive "MAMMOTH PLOUGH, 1879". Manufactured by Deere & Co. in Illinois, this large plough was specifically designed for the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad to be used alongside a construction train. The wood engraving, created in America during 1879, beautifully captures the essence of this technological marvel. Intriguingly detailed, the image transports us back to an era when railroads were at the forefront of American progress. The mammoth size of this plough is awe-inspiring; it stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in conquering vast terrains for railway expansion. The men depicted in the engraving add a sense of scale and emphasize just how immense this piece of machinery truly is. Their presence also highlights the collaborative effort required for such ambitious projects. As we gaze upon this historical artifact frozen in time, we are reminded of America's relentless pursuit of innovation during that period – from steel production advancements to cutting-edge technology utilized within railroad construction. This Granger Collection artwork encapsulates both the grandeur and grittiness associated with America's industrial revolution. It serves as a reminder that progress often requires immense effort but ultimately leads to transformative change – not only within industries but also within society itself.
