EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Ex Fumo Lux: The Bold Gasworkers of the 1850s" This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases an allegorical representation of two young and bold gasworkers from the mid-19th century. The workers are depicted in their prime, exuding confidence and strength as they proudly hold the tools of their trade – a gas wrench and a torch – against the backdrop of an industrial scene. The image, which is not to be confused with a Gas Company representation, offers a historical glimpse into the gas industry's formative years. The workers' determined expressions and their unwavering commitment to their craft underscore the vital role they played in bringing light to the world through their labor. The motto "Ex Fumo Lux," which translates to "from smoke cometh light," encapsulates the essence of this photograph. The workers, surrounded by the smoke and fumes of their industry, symbolize the transformation of a potentially harmful substance into a source of illumination and progress. The allegorical nature of this image adds an additional layer of depth, emphasizing the importance of perseverance, innovation, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. The young gasworkers' unwavering dedication to their craft and their ability to harness the power of smoke to create light serves as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transformative potential of industry. This photograph print, with its rich historical significance and powerful symbolism, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of industry, labor, and the human spirit. It offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in history, inviting viewers to reflect on the past and the role that everyday workers have played in shaping the world we live in today.
