Intriguingly capturing a piece of history from the industrial revolution era, this print takes us back to a time when technology was rapidly advancing. The Paternoster lift, known for its unique design resembling an endless loop of interconnected cabins moving continuously up and down without stopping, symbolizes the spirit of innovation during that period. The image depicts men and women operating this marvel of engineering with precision and expertise. As they navigate through each floor or storey within towering skyscrapers using these lifts, it is evident how crucial their role was in ensuring smooth transportation for passengers.
