EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, where we witness the grandeur of M Vivian's copper factory. The engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist, offers a panoramic view of this industrial marvel that once stood tall in Swansea, Wales. As our eyes wander across the image, we are immediately drawn to the towering chimneys billowing smoke into the sky. These chimneys symbolize not only progress but also mark a turning point in history - the Industrial Revolution. This period brought about significant changes in society and transformed landscapes with factories like M Vivian's at its forefront. The scene depicted here is both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. On one hand, it showcases human ingenuity and technological advancements that propelled nations forward. On the other hand, it reminds us of the environmental consequences associated with rapid industrialization - pollution being one of them. Through this historical lens, we can reflect on how exploration and travel during this era were intertwined with economic growth and societal transformation. This particular engraving was originally published as an illustration for Le Tour Du Monde (Hachette) in 1865. Thanks to digital restoration techniques employed by Bridgeman Images, this print has been meticulously cleaned while preserving its authenticity. It serves as a powerful reminder of our past achievements and challenges us to consider their impact on our present world.
