Revdocdrew your quotation is wonderfully true! That painting looks a lot like the fiery scenes produced by the Bessemer furnaces at McKeesport, Duquesne, and Braddock, PA. We could look right down into them from the adjacent hillsides. During WWII they went full blast day and night projecting great clouds of orange and black smoke high into the sky. At night the glow was visible above the horizon for miles and the grit fell in measureable layers on people & homes every hour. During the day those same clouds often totally blotted out the sun producing darkness at noon. Long before I knew what hell was all about I already had a fully formed image thereof.

Mr. Lape:

You make a very good point while we have mostly noted forges/furances abroad while there were many here at home. I would be most interested in hearing your perspective while there. The environment had to be nastly all the way around.

It appears that the British East India Company traded more than tea in India. In the 1800s,they brought together technology from Sweden and ore from India as found here: http://www.infinityfoundation.com/mandala/t_es/t_es_agraw_kumaon_frameset.htm
