EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lambeth Gasworks" takes us back to the industrial era of 19th century Britain. Taken from Gustave Dore and Blanchard Jerrold's renowned book "London: A Pilgrimage" published in 1872, this wood engraving captures a moment at the Lambeth Gasworks. In this bustling scene, we see men taking a well-deserved break from their arduous work of charging the retorts. The intensity of their labor is evident as they pause amidst the backdrop of their colleagues continuing to toil in what can only be described as an inferno. The image offers a glimpse into the world of industry, chemistry, and fuel production during that time period. It reminds us of England's reliance on coal and gas for energy generation and illuminating its cities. As we observe this historic photograph, it is important to note that it does not depict any specific company but rather serves as a representation of an entire era marked by rapid industrialization. Preserved by Archive and made available through Universal Images Group (UIG), this print transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the advancements made during that period and the immense challenges faced by those working tirelessly behind-the-scenes.
