EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Accident at the Granton Quarry, near Edinburgh" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an unknown English artist in the 19th century, this print captures a dramatic incident that occurred at the Granton Quarry. The scene is filled with chaos and urgency as workers scramble to rescue their fellow laborers from a perilous situation. The sheer scale of the quarry emphasizes the danger they face, with towering rock formations surrounding them. The artist skillfully conveys a sense of motion and panic through dynamic lines and expressive figures. This artwork was originally published in The Illustrated Times on November 10th, 1855. It serves as both documentation and commentary on industrial accidents during that era. By depicting this event, it sheds light on the hazardous conditions faced by workers in quarries across Scotland. As we gaze upon this historical engraving today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who built our modern world. It prompts us to reflect on worker safety and appreciate how far we have come since then. With its rich historical significance and artistic mastery, this print from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in time – one that forever changed not only Granton Quarry but also our understanding of workplace safety.
