Légende

'The Falcon Glassworks', c1840. This is the earliest known detailed view of the interior of a London glasshouse. The glassblowers are making claret jugs; the man on the left is shaping the jug with tongs while a young boy blows the glass to keep it hollow. The small table in the middle is the flat iron plate, used to help shape the glass. Behind are the furnaces and the annealing oven. The Falcon Glassworks in Holland Street was at the southern end of Blackfriars Bridge.
