EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative lithographic print by Rudolph Ihlee captures the bustling activity of Westwood Works in Peterborough during the First World War, a time when industry and manufacturing played a crucial role in the war effort. The image, produced in 1918, depicts the vast expanse of the factory floor filled with an array of machines and machinery, their gears turning and cogs spinning in a symphony of industrial production. The men in the foreground are intently focused on their tasks, their faces etched with determination and concentration. The atmosphere is one of intense productivity, as the workers churn out parts and components for the war effort. The scene is a testament to the power of industry and engineering during wartime, with the machines serving as the backbone of the military machine. The 1910s were a time of great change and innovation, and this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of a factory during a period of significant historical importance. The use of lithography as a medium adds an extra layer of depth and texture to the image, capturing the intricacies of the machinery and the grit and determination of the workers. Westwood Works in Peterborough was just one of many factories across the country that contributed to the war effort during the First World War. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the men and women who worked in these factories, and the vital role they played in shaping the course of history.
