EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Camperdown Linen Works in Dundee, Angus, Scotland. Despite its name, this historic establishment was actually a Jute mill owned by Cox Brothers. The significance of this mill extended beyond the borders of Scotland, as Cox Brothers also had a branch in Calcutta, India. This ensured that the raw materials used in production were properly handled and shipped to guarantee top-notch quality. The Camperdown Linen Works operated with remarkable efficiency - all materials entered and left the factory via rail transportation. To facilitate this seamless process, it even had its own branch line connecting it to the main railway system. This engraving from "Great Industries of Great Britain" (London, c1880) perfectly captures the grandeur and scale of this textile manufacturing powerhouse. With mass production at its core, this industry played a vital role in both local and international markets. The image evokes a sense of awe as one contemplates the sheer magnitude of operations within these walls. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and industrial progress during that era. As we admire this snapshot into history provided by Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate not only the physical structures but also recognize how such establishments shaped communities and economies around them.
