EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating process of welding rails using the Thermit method. The vibrant colors in this lithograph by George Henry Evison bring to life the historical significance of this invention. Intriguingly, this image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "The Book of Invention" by T. C. Bridges, published around 1910. It serves as a visual representation of an era when innovation and progress were at their peak. The Thermit process depicted here revolutionized rail welding during its time, forever changing the way tracks were constructed. This technique involved using a mixture called Thermit to create intense heat that would melt metal together, resulting in seamless connections between railway tracks. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an age where inventors like Evison pushed boundaries and reshaped industries through their ingenuity. The fusion of history and art captured within this lithograph allows us to appreciate not only the technical aspects but also the artistic beauty behind such advancements. Without mentioning any commercial use or specific companies associated with Thermit technology, let us marvel at how these inventors paved the way for modern transportation systems while leaving an indelible mark on our collective history.
