EDITORS COMMENTS
The Late Fire at the Patent Candle Factory, Coxside, Plymouth (engraving) captures a dramatic moment in history when disaster struck one of Devon's bustling factories. This 19th-century engraving by an English School artist is a powerful reminder of the destructive force that fire can unleash. The image depicts billowing smoke and towering flames engulfing the patent candle factory, creating a scene of chaos and devastation. The intensity of the fire is palpable as it consumes everything in its path, leaving behind only charred remnants of what was once a thriving industrial site. This historical print originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on March 24th, 1866, providing readers with a visual account of this catastrophic event. It serves as both documentation and testament to the resilience and determination of those who faced such challenges during Britain's industrial revolution. Now preserved in a private collection, this engraving offers us insight into the past while serving as a haunting reminder of the dangers inherent in manufacturing processes. It stands as a tribute to all those who have suffered losses due to fires throughout history. Through this artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to that fateful day at Coxside, Plymouth when flames ravaged the patent candle factory. Let us remember their story and honor their legacy.
