EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, dating back to 1730, offers a general view of Manchester and Salford as they once were, before the industrial revolution dramatically transformed the landscape of these historic English towns. Located in the northern part of England, in the West of the country, Manchester and Salford were once predominantly agricultural communities, with lush fields stretching out as far as the eye could see. The serene scene is dotted with picturesque churches, their spires reaching towards the heavens, and tall trees providing a natural canopy over the landscape. The tranquility of this rural setting belies the momentous changes that were about to take place. The industrial revolution, which began in the late 1700s, would soon shift the emphasis from agriculture to factories and machinery, forever altering the character of Manchester and Salford. The arrival of the textile industry, in particular, would bring about rapid growth and urbanization, as people flocked to the area in search of work in the new mills. This print serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when Manchester and Salford were idyllic rural towns, their days filled with the sounds of nature and the rhythms of agricultural life. The image invites us to pause and reflect on the passage of time, and the remarkable transformation that these towns have undergone over the centuries.
