Légende

Nasmyth's steam hammer at work, (c1880). The steam hammer was invented by the Scottish engineer and inventor James Nasmyth (1808-1890). It took the human effort out of the process of forging wrought iron and steel to form engine and machine parts, as well as substantially reducing production costs. A print from "Great Industries of Great Britain", Volume I, published by Cassell Petter and Galpin, (London, Paris, New York, c1880). (Colorised black and white print).
