Blowing Creighton Cylinder Hole Pittsburgh
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment of innovation and experimentation at the Creighton Works in Pittsburgh, USA, around 1880. In the image, a skilled artisan is shown blowing air into a long glass cylinder, creating a hollow space within its walls. The glassblower's intense concentration is evident as he carefully maneuvers the molten glass, shaping it with the help of long metal tools. The process of blowing a hole in a glass cylinder was a groundbreaking technique in the glass industry during the late 19th century. It allowed for the creation of larger and more uniform glass containers, which were essential for various scientific and industrial applications. The use of glass cylinders became increasingly popular in laboratories, pharmacies, and factories, leading to advancements in fields such as chemistry, medicine, and manufacturing. The Creighton Works was at the forefront of this technological evolution, pushing the boundaries of glassmaking and contributing to the industrial growth of Pittsburgh and the United States as a whole. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the glassblower and the importance of innovation in the development of industry.
