EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the remarkable Metropolitan Main Drainage Scheme in Bow, London. Under the visionary guidance of James Bazalgette, this groundbreaking engineering project forever transformed the city's sanitation system. Intriguingly captured by "The Illustrated London News" in 1859, we witness a bustling scene filled with dedicated manual workers. A medium group of men can be seen diligently engaged in their tasks, their gazes fixed away from the camera as they contribute to this monumental endeavor. The image transports us to an era where British culture was defined by its resilience and determination to overcome challenges. Against the backdrop of the iconic Thames River flowing through London, these craftsmen construct new sewers that would divert sewage away from polluting its waters. With Crossness as its destination downstream, sewage is pumped efficiently into the river instead of being discharged directly into it within city limits. This technological advancement not only improved public health but also preserved one of England's most vital waterways. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate how far our society has come since then. The Metropolitan Main Drainage Scheme stands as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that progress is built upon perseverance and innovation.
