EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Lifting in the boilers" takes us back to a time when shipbuilding was at its peak in Britain. The image, captured by Charles John de Lacy and now part of a private collection, showcases the sheer magnitude of work that went into constructing these massive vessels. In this lithograph, we witness a bustling shipyard where skilled workers are diligently installing boilers onto a ship's hull. The scene is alive with activity as cranes hoist these heavy components into place, highlighting the immense strength and precision required for such an undertaking. This historical snapshot comes from the pages of "Ships that Saved the Empire" written by Charles R Gibson in 1920. It serves as a testament to British industry and craftsmanship during this era. The engraving beautifully captures not only the physical labor involved but also reflects upon the importance of ships in shaping Britain's maritime dominance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported to an industrial landscape where hardworking tradesmen labor tirelessly to build vessels that would navigate oceans and connect nations. It reminds us of Great Britain's rich history as an industrial powerhouse and its significant contribution to global trade. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with a glimpse into our past through their vast collection of fine art prints like this one – preserving moments that tell stories beyond words can express.
