EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from c1910 showcases the bustling industrial scene in Derby, the county town of Derbyshire, England. The image captures a moment in time when Sir Thomas Lombes Silk Mill and the Midland Railway Locomotive Works were at their peak. The vibrant colors bring to life the thriving textile industry that dominated this region during the early 20th century. The towering chimneys of the factories stand tall against a picturesque countryside backdrop, symbolizing both progress and harmony with nature. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era defined by rapid industrialization and technological advancements brought about by the Industrial Revolution. With a population of 123,410, Derby was teeming with activity as workers busily operated machinery inside these grand buildings. Silks, lace, porcelain - all products synonymous with luxury and craftsmanship - were meticulously produced within these walls. As we admire this historical photograph today, it is important to acknowledge its significance as part of "The Counties of England - A Geographical Game: 4th Series" collection by Jaques & Son Ltd. , London. It serves as a valuable record of our past and reminds us of how far we have come since then. Credit must be given to Sir Thomas Lombe for his contributions to the textile industry and for establishing such an iconic mill in Derby. Although created by an unknown photographer or artist, this print preserves their vision forever through Heritage Images' meticulous preservation efforts. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece without forgetting its historical context and refrain from any
