EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1871 captures the majestic Statue of Mr. John Cockerill at Seraing, Belgium. The statue stands as a tribute to the renowned entrepreneur and pioneer of the British engineering industry, John Cockerill. With its Victorian charm and intricate illustrative technique, this print takes us back to a bygone era. John Cockerill's legacy began in Lancashire, England in 1790 when his father founded a wool processing business. Building upon his family tradition, John ventured into machinery manufacturing and continued to expand his empire in Belgium. In 1840, he founded the famous Belgian ironworks that still bears his name today - John Cockerill & Cie. The statue itself is an impressive representation of this influential figure who played a vital role in shaping industrial history. It symbolizes not only his entrepreneurial spirit but also highlights the cultural exchange between Britain and Belgium during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this retro-styled engraving, we are transported back to August 1871 when it was brought into existence through meticulous craftsmanship. This image serves as a testament to both artistry and engineering prowess – two realms that were intricately intertwined during that time. Let this print remind us of Mr. John Cockerill's significant contributions to society and inspire us with its timeless beauty rooted in history.
