EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Dowlais Rolling Mills, 19th century" takes us back in time to witness the industrial revolution in all its glory. The image showcases a bustling scene at the Dowlais Rolling Mills, located in Telford, Shropshire, UK. In the foreground of the picture stands a wooden jib crane, serving as a testament to the ingenuity of engineering during this era. Behind it lies a sprawling complex of iron rolling mills where men are seen tirelessly working. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every nuance of their labor-intensive task - rolling wrought iron. The composition exudes an air of authenticity with handwritten inscriptions on both corners: "Dowlais / C. W. C / Rolling Mills" inked on the bottom left and "C. W Campion" penciled on the bottom right. These personal touches add depth and character to an already remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this artwork from over a century ago, we can almost feel ourselves transported into that world - witnessing firsthand the smoke billowing out from furnaces and hearing the clanking sounds of machinery echoing through our ears. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come technologically while also honoring those who paved the way for modern industry. This print is part of Elton Collection housed by Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust – an institution dedicated to preserving historical artifacts that shaped our society today. It allows us to appreciate not only art but also history itself; capturing moments frozen in time for generations to come.
