EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Working a 'Night Heat', the Great 35-Ton Steam Hammer at Woolwich Arsenal" takes us back to the industrial era of London in the late 19th century. The image showcases an impressive steam hammer, weighing a staggering 35 tons, as it is put to work during the night shift at Woolwich Arsenal. The immense size and power of this mechanical marvel are evident, with its massive frame dominating the scene. Bathed in moonlight, the steam hammer stands tall against the backdrop of other industrial machinery and structures. Its sheer presence exudes strength and determination. The artist, William Bazett Murray, expertly captures both the grandeur and intensity of this moment. The sparks flying from each strike illuminate the dark surroundings while adding a touch of drama to this otherwise monochromatic composition. This engraving serves as a testament to London's rich history as an industrial powerhouse. It reminds us of an era when manual labor was essential for progress and innovation. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear the rhythmic pounding echoing through time—a symphony composed by human ingenuity. Whether you appreciate history or have a fascination for industry, this artwork transports you back in time to witness firsthand one of London's most remarkable engineering feats—the mighty 35-ton steam hammer working tirelessly through a 'night heat' at Woolwich Arsenal.
