EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Wombwell Foundry in South Yorkshire, 1963. The image showcases the intricate process of pattern making for a steel mould, an essential step in the production of high-quality steel castings. Skilled engineers meticulously work from detailed technical drawings, using wood as their medium to create these patterns. The foundry's workshop is filled with dedicated workers focused on their craft. Among them stands a determined man, captured by photographer Michael Walters. His portrait exudes a sense of pride and expertise as he contributes his skills to this thriving industry. Walters' monochrome lens transports us to an era when Britain's iron and steel industry was at its peak. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily lives of hardworking individuals who played vital roles in shaping the country's industrial landscape. The composition highlights not only the physicality of the job but also emphasizes the importance of precision and attention to detail required in pattern making. Every stroke made by these skilled hands will ultimately determine the success or failure of future steel castings. As we admire this remarkable piece capturing both artistry and craftsmanship, we are reminded that behind every great industrial achievement lies countless hours spent perfecting techniques like those depicted here at Wombwell Foundry.
