EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, titled "Workers from the Tredegar Iron Works, Wales, 1865" offers a glimpse into the lives of female manual workers during the 19th century. The photograph was taken by William Clayton and measures 16x13 cm. It is currently housed in the Manchester Art Gallery in the United Kingdom. The image showcases a portrait of a single woman, her identity forever preserved through this remarkable piece of art. She stands proudly as a representation of all workers who toiled at Tredegar Iron Works in Wales. Her presence exudes strength and resilience, embodying the spirit of laborers during that era. The album containing this photograph consists of 60 cartes de visite bound in an embossed brown leather cover. A newspaper cutting from the Bristol Mercury is tucked within its pages, adding historical context to this precious collection. The original owner's name, C B Crisp, along with the date April 19th, 1865, are inscribed in ink on one page. As we gaze upon this image captured over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when women played crucial roles within industrial settings like ironworks. This photo serves as a testament to their contributions and reminds us of their often overlooked place in history. Through Clayton's lens and Manchester Art Gallery's preservation efforts today, we can appreciate not only the technical skill behind this albumen print but also its cultural significance as an invaluable record documenting women's labor during Britain's industrial revolution.
