The 40-Ton Steam-Hammer - A Symbol of British Industrial Power in the Nineteenth Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by Enoch Ward and part of a private collection, showcases the impressive might of the 40-ton steam-hammer at work in Woolwich Arsenal. The image is an illustration for Edgar Sanderson's book, "The British Empire in the Nineteenth Century" published by Blackie in 1898. During this era, Great Britain was at the height of its imperial power, with colonies spanning across the globe. This print serves as a visual testament to Britain's dominance and influence during that time. The colossal steam-hammer depicted here represents not only technological advancement but also symbolizes British industrial prowess. Woolwich Arsenal was renowned for its production capabilities and played a crucial role in supplying armaments to support Britain's expanding empire. This engraving captures the essence of colonialism and highlights how industry fueled imperialism. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era when Europe was witnessing rapid progress and innovation. The intricate details within this lithograph allow us to marvel at both the craftsmanship involved in creating such machinery and its significance within British culture. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece from Fine Art Finder's collection, reminding us of Great Britain's influential past while offering insight into European society during that period.
