EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1866, providing a glimpse into the lives of children employed at a Sheffield fork factory. The original artwork, an engraving by J Palmer, was published in the renowned Illustrated London News. Preserved by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, this historical snapshot showcases the manufacturing industry in Europe during that era. In this landscape composition, we see young boys engaged in various roles within the male-dominated cutlery trade. Their tiny figures are surrounded by towering stacks of boxes filled with utensils waiting to be shipped off to customers worldwide. Each child seems focused on their task, whether it is polishing forks or inspecting blades for quality control. The image evokes a sense of both admiration and concern as we witness these youngsters shouldering responsibilities far beyond their tender years. It serves as a reminder of how different societal norms were back then compared to today's standards regarding child labor laws and regulations. As we contemplate this poignant scene frozen in time, our minds wander through history's corridors, reflecting on the progress made since those days. This print from Fine Art Storehouse allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to transport us back to an important chapter in industrialization when Sheffield Steel reigned supreme.
