EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Story of Iron" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the fascinating world of iron and steel production. The vibrant color lithograph showcases a scene from an educational series called "Lecons De Choses Illustrees" created by French School artists around 1895. In this detailed illustration, we witness the entire process of ironworking unfold before our eyes. From mining iron ore deep underground to its transformation into molten metal within blast furnaces, every step is meticulously depicted. Skilled workers can be seen laboring in foundries and factories, wielding hammers and operating steam-powered machinery like the iconic steam hammer. This print not only serves as a historical record but also as an educational tool for those interested in learning about the industrial revolution's impact on society. It offers explanations about various aspects of iron and steel manufacturing while providing a glimpse into the lives of workers who played crucial roles in this booming industry. With its rich background story and comic-like presentation, this artwork invites viewers to delve deeper into the history behind one of humanity's most essential materials. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how far our civilization has come thanks to advancements made possible by iron and steel.
