EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Royal Mint in London during the early 19th century. The image showcases a remarkable array of gas lighting apparatus, providing a glimpse into the industrial advancements of that era. Each component is meticulously labeled, allowing us to understand their specific functions within this intricate system. Starting from left to right, we see a retort, which played a crucial role in coal gas production by heating and distilling coal. Next is the purifier, responsible for removing impurities from the gas before it could be utilized. The tar cistern follows, collecting any residual tar generated during the purification process. Finally, on the far right stands an intriguing gas meter - an instrument used to measure and regulate gas flow. This photograph not only highlights technological innovations but also sheds light on Britain's growing reliance on coal as fuel for various industries during this period. It serves as a testament to England's pioneering efforts in chemistry and engineering. Preserved through time with its aquatint technique, this historical artifact offers invaluable insights into our past and reminds us of how far we have come since then. Thanks to Archive from Universal Images Group (UIG), we can now appreciate this fascinating piece of history that once illuminated one of London's most important institutions – without mentioning its commercial use or affiliation with any particular company.
