EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A mining centre, 1926" takes us back to the bustling industrial era of the 1920s. Captured by artists Edgar & Winifred Ward, this image is a part of the renowned book "An Outline of Christianity" which delves into the story of our civilization during that time. The photograph showcases an industrial town dominated by a colossal factory and colliery. Thick smoke billows from its chimneys, symbolizing both progress and pollution. The scene is illuminated by streetlights as nightfall descends upon the town, creating a mysterious ambiance. In the foreground stands a horse-drawn vehicle, laden with coal - fuel for this thriving heavy industry. The presence of horses reminds us of their crucial role in transportation before road vehicles took over. These majestic animals were once essential companions to humans in their daily lives. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and texture to this historical snapshot, emphasizing the stark contrast between light and shadow. It serves as a visual reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements since then. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Edgar & Winifred Ward's collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand an era defined by rapid industrialization and societal change. This print encapsulates not only history but also captures the essence of human progress through its depiction of buildings, animals, transport systems, and heavy industry – all elements that shaped our world during that pivotal period in history
