Penn's Machine-Engine Factory at Greenwich: the Large Machine-Shop and Turnery, 1865. Creator: Unknown
Penn's Machine-Engine Factory at Greenwich [London]: the Large Machine-Shop and Turnery, 1865. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Nelson K. Cherrill of '...part of the interior of the extensive "machine-shop and turnery," where the several parts of a steam-engine are brought, from the rough forging or casting, to be shaped and finished with that nice precision which is required before they can be fitted together for use. In the middle of our View, somewhat behind, are seen some portions of the large engines (of 1350-horse power) which have been constructed for the ironclad Northumberland, a sister ship to the Minotaur and Agincourt: these engines are now ready to leave the works. The mighty lathes, which are shown to the right and left, and the slotting-machine, a little further to the left hand, will at once be recognised'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the heart of industrial revolution with this print of Penn's Machine-Engine Factory at Greenwich in 1865. The Large Machine-Shop and Turnery is a marvel of precision engineering, where skilled craftsmen shape and finish intricate parts for steam engines that power mighty vessels like the ironclad Northumberland.
In this detailed engraving from an original photograph by Nelson K. Cherrill, we see rows of massive lathes spinning with precision-crafted machinery whirring in harmony. The slotting-machine hums along beside them, a testament to human ingenuity and industry's relentless drive for progress.
As you gaze upon the bustling workshop floor, notice the intricate details - from the steam-powered presses churning out parts to the skilled workers carefully assembling components with precision-crafted tools. This is more than just a snapshot of industrial might; it's an ode to innovation, perseverance, and human creativity in action.
