EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the magnificent Statue of Mr. John Cockerill at Seraing, Belgium in 1871. The statue pays homage to John Cockerill, a Belgian-British entrepreneur who played a pivotal role in the industrial revolution. Born in August 1790 in Haslingden, Lancashire, England, he followed in his father William's footsteps and continued the family tradition of building wool processing machinery. John Cockerill's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish ironworks and a mechanical engineering company known as John Cockerill & Cie. This engraved image showcases his remarkable achievements during the 19th century Victorian era when engravement was an illustrative technique widely used for historical documentation. The retro-styled print evokes a sense of nostalgia and takes us back to an era where arts and culture flourished. It serves as a testament to the significant contributions made by individuals like John Cockerill towards advancing industries and shaping societies. As we admire this piece from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize the impact that visionaries like John Cockerill had on our world today. Their relentless pursuit of innovation paved the way for progress and laid strong foundations for future generations to build upon.
