Description Colorized photo from 1917Original Title: Krupp gun factory number 1Photographer: Bain NewsLocation. Essen GermanyThe Krupp fun factory has had a very long history since it opened in 1587, yes, 400 years old this company has been running. And while Krupp, the owner, got his original wealth by buying vacated homes due to the black death. After that they made guns, and eventually ships and everything else. Fast forward to about 1908, where electric steelmaking was introduced at this Essen works facility. They were able to replaced high grade crucible steel. They did intensive research working with alloys, that in 1912 they developed a stainless chromium-nickel steel, which besides being corrosion resistant, it could withstand acid and heat. They were able to use it in a wide variety of applications.By World War I, they started building a stockpile of armaments, while expanding the company. That's what's going on in this picture. The company was huge, employing 168,000 people by 1918. Seen here, are a number of electric lathes in the center, with older belt drives on the sides. I'm not sure why they have belts on the sides, other than the gantry would run into it, but there must be a reason they still used the belted lathes in those days. I thought it was interesting that the large gantry's, have a tea pot, but the lighter version in the back, does not.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
