EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Elevator (lift) by Siemens and Halske, created in 1890. The artist behind this masterpiece is R Wormell, who beautifully captures the essence of this revolutionary invention. At first glance, one cannot help but be drawn to the intricate details of this mechanical marvel. The electric motor (A), which powers the elevator, stands proudly at its core. This image transports us back to a time when electricity was still a novelty, yet it was already being harnessed for innovative purposes. The concept of elevators had long fascinated society during the 19th century, as they revolutionized vertical transportation and transformed urban landscapes. In this engraving, we witness both the power and elegance of an object that would go on to shape our modern world. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this piece, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and engineering. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Siemens and Halske's ingenuity but also the countless occupations that rely on such mechanisms today – from mechanics who maintain these systems to professionals who operate them daily. R Wormell's artistic depiction allows us to appreciate not only the physicality but also the impact that elevators have had on our lives throughout history. It is truly an extraordinary representation of progress captured within a single frame.
