Description
Sheffield steel industry. 19th-century artwork of the Wentworth Works, a steel factory operated by the John Martin company in Sheffield, UK. From the middle of the 19th century, Sheffield became the world's leading centre for the production of steel. The John Martin company advertised themselves as file and steel manufacturers and exporters of iron. The conical structures at left are the blast furnaces where iron and steel are smelted from ores. This lithograph was produced by John Henry Bufford in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, between 1856 and 1864, for the W. Bailey Lang company, the US agents of the John Martin company.
