EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling malting floor of an American brewery in 1885. The intricate details captured by the wood engraving technique transport us to a different era, allowing us to witness the craftsmanship and dedication that went into producing one of America's favorite beverages - beer. The image showcases a hive of activity as workers meticulously tend to their tasks on the malting floor. From shoveling heaps of malted barley onto large trays, carefully turning them with wooden rakes, to monitoring temperature and moisture levels, every step is crucial in creating the perfect brew. The sheer size of the space emphasizes both the scale and importance of this industry during that time. Beyond its historical significance, this print also offers insight into employment opportunities in 19th century America. It serves as a reminder that brewing was not only about satisfying thirst but also played a vital role in providing jobs for countless individuals across the country. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Ann Ronan Pictures' collection, we are transported back in time - appreciating both the artistry behind wood engravings and gaining a deeper understanding of how beer production shaped America's industrial landscape during this period.
