The mid to late-19th century was a period of extraordinary expansion in British industry, leading to its emergence as the workshop of the world. The author uses a variety of pictorial and textual sources to examine the rapid increase in mechanization, the construction of the railways and advances in engineering and agriculture during this period, as well as the social effects of these changes on both rich and poor.
