EDITORS COMMENTS
The Building of a War-Ship: A Glimpse into the Industrial Powerhouse of 19th Century London". This print takes us back to the bustling Thames Ironworks in London, circa 1897. The image captures the construction of a first-class cruiser, showcasing the immense scale and complexity of this shipbuilding endeavor. Spread across an impressive 28 acres, these ironworks employed between three and four thousand skilled workmen. The photograph is part of Sir Herbert Maxwell's book "Sixty Years A Queen: The Story of Her Majesty's Reign" published in commemoration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. It offers a glimpse into the heart of Britain's industrial might during her reign as Empress of India. The scene depicts a city within itself - towering buildings, cranes reaching for the sky, and metal structures taking shape against the backdrop of London. This snapshot encapsulates not only an era but also showcases Victorian engineering prowess at its finest. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece by E&S Woodbury from The Print Collector collection, we are transported to an age when shipbuilding was at its zenith. With meticulous detail captured through photo mechanical process techniques, every rivet seems to come alive with history. Let this remarkable print remind us how innovation and craftsmanship converged on these hallowed grounds to create majestic warships that would navigate oceans and defend nations – forever etching their mark on water transport history.
