EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Steelworks, 1926" takes us back to the bustling industrial town of the early 20th century. The image showcases a towering factory building with its prominent chimney stack spewing thick smoke into the night sky. This powerful visual representation captures an era defined by heavy industry, where metal and steel were forged amidst clouds of pollution. The monochrome composition beautifully highlights the stark contrast between light and dark, emphasizing the immense scale of this industrial complex. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a time when coal was fueling progress and shaping our civilization. The artists behind this remarkable piece are Edgar & Winifred Ward, who skillfully captured both the grandeur and harsh realities of industrialization in their work. Their attention to detail is evident in every element present - from the intricate steeple atop the factory building to the billowing smoke that fills the air. "Steelworks, 1926" serves as a poignant reminder of our history's reliance on heavy industry for economic growth but also raises questions about its environmental impact. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that these developments have shaped our modern world. This evocative print is part of "An Outline of Christianity: The Story of Our Civilization" edited by RG Parsons and AS Peake and published by Waverley Book Club in London during 1926. Its inclusion within this volume suggests that it holds significance not only as
