EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving from 1890 showcases the bustling activity of the Barrow Haematite Iron and Steel Company in Barrow in Furness, Lancashire (now Cumbria). The image captures a pivotal moment in the iron and steel industry as charge is being transported to the top of a blast furnace via a railway. In the foreground, we see sturdy railway trucks loaded with ore and fuel, ready to contribute to the refining process. The scene exudes an air of industriousness and progress as workers diligently carry out their tasks amidst towering blast furnaces. This print serves as a testament to Britain's dominance in metal production during this era. It offers us a glimpse into the intricate workings of one of Lancashire's most prominent iron and steel companies. The wood engraving technique used adds depth and texture to every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur of these imposing structures and the intricacies involved in their operation. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time, marveling at how far our industrial capabilities have come since then
