Clearing the Copse - A Glimpse into 19th Century British Industry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Clearing the Copse" offers a fascinating insight into 19th century English industry and its reliance on wood. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a scene of diligent workers engaged in the laborious task of clearing a copse. The image is believed to have been commissioned as an illustration for H. C. Miall Smith's book, "The British Hive and Its Working Bees" published around 1885. It vividly captures the industrious spirit that characterized Britain during this era. Intriguingly, this artwork not only highlights the occupation of these hardworking individuals but also sheds light on various aspects of forestry and natural history. The copse itself represents a valuable source of timber used in different industries across Great Britain and Europe. With scientific methods at play, this engraving exemplifies how botany and science intertwined with economic activities during that time. Furthermore, it serves as a reminder of France's significant role in supplying firewood to meet Britain's growing demand for fuel. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era when manual labor was essential for sustaining industrial growth. This print encapsulates both the beauty of nature and humanity's tireless efforts to harness its resources for economic progress.
