EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment when John Lombe, a British industrialist, found himself under attack by Italians during his visit to Italy in search of spinning machines. The colour litho artwork, created by Godfrey C. Hindley, depicts the intense scene from Graphic Stories of Adventure. Intrigued by Italian textile manufacturing techniques, Lombe's journey took an unexpected turn as he became entangled in a dangerous confrontation. With anger and violence filling the air, this image showcases the raw emotions and tensions that unfolded between Lombe and his assailants. The illustration highlights not only the physical threat faced by Lombe but also symbolizes larger themes such as industrial espionage and national pride. It serves as a reminder of the risks taken by pioneers like Lombe who ventured into foreign lands to revolutionize their own industries. Amidst the chaos depicted in this artwork lies a deeper exploration of human nature - feelings of rage, bitterness, and danger are palpable within each stroke of Hindley's brush. This visual narrative transports us back to early 18th century Europe where rivalries between nations were fierce and innovation was fiercely guarded. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us of both the triumphs and perils encountered throughout history in pursuit of progress.
