EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the industrial revolution of the 19th century, specifically to Saltaire works in Bradford, Yorkshire. The visionary behind this remarkable establishment was Sir Titus Salt, a man known for his groundbreaking method of blending alpaca wool with cotton and silk. Sir Titus Salt's legacy extends far beyond his innovative textile manufacturing techniques; he is best remembered as the builder of Saltaire Mill and the surrounding model company town of Saltaire. In an era where workers were often subjected to harsh conditions, Sir Titus Salt went above and beyond by providing shops, a library, and other essential facilities for his employees. However, it is worth noting that no public houses were included in this community as Sir Titus Salt himself was a teetotaller. The image showcases the grandeur of Saltaire works - its towering chimneys dominating the landscape while conveying a sense of power and progress. This engraving from Great Industries of Great Britain offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in British history when industry thrived amidst innovation. As we admire this monochrome depiction captured around 1880 by an unknown creator, we are reminded not only of Sir Titus Salt's immense contribution to the woollen industry but also his commitment to improving working conditions for countless individuals.
