EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling world of industry and manufacturing. The image showcases the Schlesinger and Cos Ammunition Works at Northfleet, a company that played a significant role in ball cartridge making during this era. The scene is filled with activity as workers diligently go about their tasks within the factory walls. The intricate machinery, towering chimneys, and sprawling buildings all bear witness to the scale of production taking place here. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and technological progress during this time period. Located in Northfleet, Kent, these factories were instrumental in supplying ammunition for various purposes. Bullet casting was one of their primary operations, ensuring that firearms across the country were equipped with reliable projectiles. The attention to detail in this engraving allows us to appreciate not only the magnitude of these works but also provides insight into daily life within such an industrial setting. It offers a fascinating window into an essential aspect of history – how goods were manufactured on a large scale before modern automation took over. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot captured by an anonymous English artist from Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we are reminded of our own connection to past generations who labored tirelessly to shape our present-day world.
