EDITORS COMMENTS
This line engraving from 1869 showcases the iconic JONES / LAUGHLIN IRON WORKS in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The print captures the exterior of this American industrial marvel, offering a glimpse into the bustling world of iron production during that era. The image portrays a scene filled with activity and energy as workers go about their daily tasks amidst towering smokestacks and billowing clouds of pollution. The factory itself is an impressive sight, with its grand architecture dominating the scenic view along the river. Its prominent position on the North side of Pittsburgh signifies its significance in shaping the city's economic landscape at that time. A steamboat can be seen gliding gracefully along the river nearby, adding to the overall charm and historical context of this engraving. While it is impossible to ignore the environmental impact depicted by thick plumes of smoke rising from chimneys, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of industrial practices and pollution control measures since then. This remarkable piece by The Granger Collection transports us back to a pivotal moment in history when factories like JONES / LAUGHLIN IRON WORKS played a crucial role in driving America's growth and development. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the architectural beauty and social implications associated with such monumental structures during that period.
