EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases a group of hardworking men and boys at Aspley Pellatts Falcon Glass Works in Holland Street, Blackfriars, London in 1842. The significance of this historical moment lies not only in the labor-intensive glass manufacturing process but also in the scientific research conducted by renowned scientist Michael Faraday. The photograph highlights the impressive cast iron roof trusses that adorned the glassworks building, a testament to Britain's industrial prowess during this era. It is worth noting that between 1824 and 1827, Faraday initiated his investigations into optical glass right here at Aspley Pellatts before eventually establishing a furnace at the prestigious Royal Institution. This image offers a glimpse into both the physical labor involved in glass production and the intersection of science and industry during this time period. It serves as a reminder of England's rich history as an epicenter for innovation and experimentation. While we cannot overlook the presence of child labor within this photograph, it is important to acknowledge that these young boys were partaking in an integral aspect of their society's economic fabric. This picture captures a pivotal moment where craftsmanship meets scientific exploration – an enduring symbol of progress and ingenuity from Victorian England.
