EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Details of reservoir construction" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The print showcases intricate details of a reservoir being built, offering a glimpse into the history of engineering marvels. The image portrays both earthen and masonry elements used in constructing the dam that holds this vast body of water. It highlights the importance of such structures in preventing floods and providing impure-free water for communities. The attention to detail is remarkable, allowing viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating this essential infrastructure. One notable feature depicted is a culvert outlet, which serves as an important mechanism for regulating water flow. This illustration offers valuable insight into how engineers tackled these challenges during that era. Displayed against a backdrop of bank buildings, this lithograph not only captures technical aspects but also hints at the economic significance behind such constructions. Reservoirs were crucial assets for banks as they provided stability and security against financial uncertainties caused by natural disasters like floods. This print was originally created as an illustration for The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia around 1922, showcasing its educational purpose. Preserved within a private collection today, it continues to serve as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of knowledge throughout history.
