EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a series of drawings and prints that represent the progress of the 19th century. Created by renowned publisher Currier & Ives, this artwork titled "The Progress of the Century" beautifully captures key technological advancements during that era. At the center of attention is "The Lightning Steam Press" symbolizing the rapid development in printing technology. This invention revolutionized communication and paved the way for mass production of printed materials. Adjacent to it is "The Electric Telegraph" representing another groundbreaking innovation that transformed long-distance communication. Flanking these two inventions are depictions of other remarkable achievements: "The Locomotive" represents advancements in transportation, while "The Steamboat" signifies improvements in water travel. Together, these images highlight how steam power played a crucial role in shaping society during this period. Currier & Ives, an American publishing company active from 1857 to 1907, expertly captured these significant moments through their detailed illustrations. Their prints became highly sought after due to their artistic quality and historical significance. This print serves as a visual time capsule, transporting us back to an era where progress was measured by lightning-fast presses, electric telegraphs, powerful locomotives, and majestic steamboats. It reminds us how far we have come technologically while honoring those who pioneered these transformative innovations.
