Industrial Revolution (Design)

The industrial revolution started in the 18^th century and continued the 19^th century. At that time Queen Victoria was leading England. It was a periodic time where people were leaving the country side and going into the cities to find jobs in factories such as cotton mills. Sometimes they wouldn’t even get the job so they would become more desperate without a job and neither a house.

When they moved in the city people would end up living in apartments where in every apartment 5 families had to live all together, so you can imagine heir hygiene and health.

By the 19^th century, Britain was given a boost by the invention of the steam engine, the world’s first underground and first Photography. This invention made work faster and efficient to work. People had machines to help them do their work quicker, and transport to travel but unfortunately Photography took place instead of art because people started wanting their picture taken rather than being painted. 

In this drawing you can see people putting afford and work hard to earn a living. 

This is a painting showing the difference between the country side and factories in the city.
