EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century wood engraving takes us back to the heart of England's coal mining history. The image showcases the old engine house at Dalcouth, a significant site where James Watt and Matthew Boulton's revolutionary steam engines once stood. The dilapidated exterior of the building stands as a testament to the industrial revolution that transformed England during this era. Its weathered walls bear witness to years of hard work and dedication, symbolizing the relentless efforts of countless miners who toiled underground. Coal, depicted as an essential fuel source in this print, played a pivotal role in powering these steam engines and driving forward Britain's burgeoning industry. It was through such technological advancements that England became known as "the workshop of the world". As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are transported back in time to an age when coal mines dotted the English landscape, their towering structures dominating local communities. This particular engine house holds special significance due to its association with two prominent figures in engineering history – James Watt and Matthew Boulton. The Granger Collection has expertly captured this moment from our past, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Through their artistry, they have ensured that we never forget the immense impact coal mining had on shaping not only England but also our modern world.
