EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling world of industrial production. The image showcases a vacuum-pan at Messrs Finzels Works, an iconic sugar refinery in Bristol. This impressive machine is capable of boiling approximately 300 tons of crystalized sugar every week. The intricate details captured by the English School artist highlight the complexity and scale of this technological marvel. Steam billows from various pipes and valves, creating an atmosphere filled with energy and productivity. The precision-engraved gears and levers demonstrate the meticulous craftsmanship involved in constructing such a sophisticated apparatus. The significance of this vacuum-pan extends beyond its sheer size; it represents progress and innovation during a pivotal era in history. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how advancements like these revolutionized industries across the globe. Originally published as an illustration for The Practical Magazine in 1873, this artwork has now found its place within private collections around the world. Preserved through time, it serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to human ingenuity.
