EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a sectional view of Strutts model cotton mills in Belper, Derbyshire, England in 1820. The artist behind this detailed engraving is William Lowry. The power source for these mills was the water wheel, which can be seen prominently in the image. The generated power was then distributed throughout the mill via a shaft and belting system. In this bustling textile factory, water frames are located at F, with carding machines positioned above them. Interestingly, situated at the top of the building is a schoolroom, highlighting the importance given to education even amidst industrialization. The significance of this image lies in its representation of technological advancements during the Industrial Revolution. It showcases how mechanization revolutionized Britain's textile industry in the 19th century. This particular cotton mill played a crucial role in driving economic growth and transforming society. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this nineteenth-century scene captured by J Farey Junior and Jedediah Strutt alongside William Lowry's artistic contribution. Through their collaboration on this print, they have immortalized not only an architectural marvel but also symbolize progress and innovation that shaped British history.
