EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Electrical apparatus for the Clock Tower, Houses of Parliament" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the inner workings of one of London's most iconic landmarks. The image reveals a mesmerizing scene inside the Clock Tower, where cutting-edge electrical technology is being employed to illuminate the grand structure. The clock tower itself is famously known as Big Ben and has been a symbol of British democracy for centuries. As depicted in this artwork, whenever parliament is in session, light traditionally emanates from this very tower. The Victorian era was marked by remarkable inventions and advancements in various fields, including electricity. This engraving beautifully captures that spirit of innovation as it showcases the intricate mechanisms responsible for illuminating Big Ben. As we gaze upon this historical print today, we are reminded not only of the architectural beauty but also of mankind's relentless pursuit to harness new technologies for practical purposes. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant desire to push boundaries. Preserved within private collections worldwide, this lithograph continues to inspire awe and admiration for both its artistic merit and its representation of an important chapter in technological history.
