Progress of the Century - A Glimpse into Innovation and Industry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by Currier & Ives in 1876, offers a fascinating snapshot of the remarkable advancements that defined the late 19th century. Titled "Progress of the Century" it showcases four groundbreaking inventions that revolutionized communication and transportation. In this bustling print shop interior, we witness skilled craftsmen diligently operating a Lightning Steam Press, an invention that propelled printing into new realms of efficiency. The men's focused expressions reflect their dedication to preserving knowledge through movable type. Adjacent to them stands a telegrapher intently sending messages via an Electric Telegraph—a marvel that connected people across vast distances at unprecedented speeds. The room reverberates with electricity as wires hum with information. Dominating the scene is a majestic locomotive billowing steam—an emblematic symbol of progress and industrial might. This powerful machine ushered in an era where travel became faster, more accessible, and transformed landscapes forever. Completing this tableau is a steamboat gliding along a river—a testament to how waterways were harnessed for efficient transportation and trade routes. The lithograph captures not only these incredible inventions but also pays homage to human creativity and ingenuity during America's Industrial Revolution. It serves as a reminder of our relentless pursuit for innovation—where science meets skill—and how these advancements shaped our world for generations to come.
