EDITORS COMMENTS

This print, part of a private collection, showcases the skill and artistry of an unknown English School artist. The image depicts a determined workman, his muscular frame accentuated by his rolled-up sleeves and sturdy boots. With tools in hand, he stands against a backdrop of construction materials and machinery, symbolizing progress and industrialization. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line etched with precision captures the essence of this laborious occupation. Originally published in Pictorial Times on November 27th, 1847, "The Lancashire Navvy" serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression.
