Description

Gritty, powerful images of man’s endeavours with awe-inspiring and remarkable machines from the early part of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. These photographs capture the true pioneering spirit of man, from boats and planes, through heavy industry and armour, right up to the start of modern technology and communication. Here we see working men forging train wheels, constructing great power stations, and riveting and welding mighty ships. This is the age of Brunel and Krupp and Ford and Bessemer capture by geniuses like Lewis Hine and Margaret Bourke-White. This book features an amazing array of historically significant photographs of the era of machines.
