EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Razing a Factory Chimney" captures a moment of intense demolition in the 19th century. The image, taken by an English photographer whose name remains unknown, showcases the condemned chimney as it is being brought down with great force. The photograph provides a unique perspective on this event, showing the base of the smokestacks and the props inserted to ensure controlled destruction. The fallen chimney lies in ruins, revealing only remnants of its once towering presence. The composition allows viewers to appreciate both the power and precision required for such an undertaking. Originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on December 24th, 1898, this image offers us a glimpse into industrial history. It serves as a reminder of how progress often necessitates tearing down old structures to make way for new ones. Through this photograph's clarity and attention to detail, we can almost hear the thunderous crash that accompanied each brick falling from its place. This visual documentation not only preserves an important moment but also highlights photography's ability to capture significant events in time. Now part of a private collection within Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, this print stands as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant drive towards innovation.
