EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the late 19th century showcases the Portland Star Match Factory in Portland, Maine. The image takes us back to a bustling era of American industrialization, capturing the essence of this thriving factory and its significance during that time. The lithograph depicts an impressive exterior view of the factory building, standing tall against a backdrop of lush greenery. Its grand architecture is a testament to the ambition and progressiveness of the period. One can almost imagine hearing the rhythmic hum of machinery emanating from within those walls. Located in Northeastern America, Maine played a crucial role in shaping the nation's manufacturing landscape. This particular factory was known for producing star matches - an essential commodity at that time when gas lamps were still widely used for illumination. The artist has skillfully captured not only the physical structure but also hints at life surrounding it. In close proximity to railroad tracks, one can spot a passing train adding movement and dynamism to this snapshot frozen in time. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable print as part of their collection, allowing viewers today to appreciate and reflect upon our industrial heritage. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation that transports us back to an era where factories like these propelled America forward into modernity.
