Description: | Inscription 'EBB' bottom right.
A curving bend in the canal is shown at the bottom left of the painting, the line of the canal leads to the central mass of the blast furnaces and chimneys. On the left of the picture, a large chimney extends above the frame, others have smoke plumes. Some of the shapes are loosely reflected in the canal. An open top furnace shows lighter drifting fumes and smoke. The canal has several narrow boats moored alongside the left hand bank. Above the towing path on the right an embankment rises steeply to a railway siding with goods wagons. The canal is crossed by the single span of a railway bridge across which a small steam locomotive with plume of white smoke is hauling some wagons. A number of subsidiary stacks, telegraph poles and smaller buildings are shown on he left. The composition is predominantly horizontal and vertical. The artist has however introduced two short diagonals representing conveyors. A full moon is suggested above the haze from the furnaces. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Black Country Fine arts Landscape Works on paper Industrial areas Drawings Wolverhampton Industry | Temporal: | 1900 - 1945
