EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of industrialization in the rural landscape of Holywell, Flintshire, Wales during the 18th century. Painted by William Watts and brought to life by John Ingleby, this illustration showcases the copperworks owned by the Mona Company in 1792. The image depicts a bustling scene with a variety of elements that highlight both nature and human activity. In the foreground, we see a lush forest with towering trees and vibrant plant life, emphasizing the natural beauty of the Welsh countryside. A meandering river flows through the valley, adding tranquility to an otherwise industrious setting.

The artist skillfully portrays how industry has transformed this once rustic landscape into a hub of trade and commerce. The presence of workers engaged in various tasks further emphasizes their integral role in shaping this evolving society. This engraving not only serves as a historical document but also reflects upon Wales' significant contribution to Britain's metal industry during this era. It is evident that Copper mining on Anglesey played a pivotal role in fueling industrial growth across Great Britain. Through its vivid colors and attention to detail, this print transports us back to an important period marked by innovation and change.
