EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Respiration Bellows and Foundry Mould: A 19th Century Duo of Life-Saving Apparatus and Foundry Tools" This image, a Copperplate engraving by Wilson Lowry after a drawing by J. Farey, showcases two intriguing inventions from the 19th century: respiration bellows and foundry moulds. The respiration bellows, located at the forefront, are an essential piece of emergency equipment used to restore the breath of those who have drowned. The bellows, with their large, leather bellows bags, were manually pumped to force air into the lungs of the drowning victim, providing them with much-needed oxygen. The foundry moulds, situated in the background, are used for creating various items, such as bells, letters, and types. These moulds, made of materials like sand or metal, were filled with molten metal, which would then solidify into the desired shape once cooled. The intricate details of the copperplate engraving reveal the craftsmanship and precision that went into producing these essential tools during the 19th century. The image is taken from Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature, published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme and Brown in London in 1814. This engraving serves as a fascinating glimpse into the technological advancements and the diverse range of applications that characterized the scientific and industrial progress of the 19th century. The juxtaposition of the life-saving respiration bellows and the foundry moulds highlights the interconnectedness of various fields, from medicine to manufacturing, during this period. This image is a testament to the ingenuity, creativity, and resourcefulness of the 19th-century mind.
