EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Kettering Furnaces in 1878, a moment frozen in time by artist S. J. Jones. The pastel on paper medium adds a softness to the industrial scene, creating an intriguing contrast between the harsh realities of smelting and factory work and the delicate strokes of the artist's hand. The image transports us back to a pivotal era in history when industry was undergoing a revolution. The towering chimney stands tall against the sky, symbolizing progress and innovation. Surrounding it are trucks filled with raw materials, ready to be transformed through labor into products that would shape society. Coal and iron works were at their peak during this period, fueling economic growth and transforming landscapes across England. This artwork captures not only the physical structures but also hints at the human element behind them - workers toiling away tirelessly inside these factories. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of industrialization. It serves as a reminder of our collective journey towards technological advancements while acknowledging both its benefits and consequences. Displayed proudly within Alfred East Gallery under Kettering Borough Council's care, this print is more than just an artistic representation; it is a window into our shared history - one that shaped communities and propelled humanity forward.
