EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Lambeth Gasworks, from London, a Pilgrimage" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian-era London. The image is an engraving created by Gustave Dore in 1872, based on William Blanchard Jerrold's book of the same name. The scene depicts Lambeth Gasworks, a significant landmark during the Industrial Revolution. Thick plumes of smoke rise into the sky as laborers toil away amidst towering coal heaps and industrial machinery. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the harsh reality faced by those working in this fuel-driven industry. Jerrold's book shed light on the plight of poverty-stricken individuals who relied heavily on coal and gas for their livelihoods. It serves as a reminder of how these essential resources shaped society at that time. The first edition publication further emphasizes its historical significance.
