Old Furnace, at Kent Plains, 1874. Creator: John Douglas Woodward
Old Furnace, at Kent Plains, 1874. Scene in New England, USA. The old furnace which the artist has so faithfully reproduced with his pencil will suggest to the mind one of the industries of the Housatonic Valley - the working of the iron which is found in many localities. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of rural life in 19th century America. Titled "Old Furnace, at Kent Plains, 1874" it showcases a ramshackle building surrounded by towering trees and rustic countryside. The artist, John Douglas Woodward, has meticulously reproduced the old furnace with his pencil, highlighting one of the industries prevalent in the Housatonic Valley - ironworking. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when manual labor was essential for survival. An ox cart parked outside the building suggests that transportation played a crucial role in this industry. The clapboard structure stands as a testament to the hard work and resilience of those who labored within its walls. Woodward's attention to detail brings this scene to life; every line etched into the wood engraving tells a story of an era long gone. This print is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant and published by D. Appleton and Company in 1874. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of our connection to nature and our reliance on local resources for sustenance. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of an important chapter in American industrial development.
