During the time of the Industrial Revolution, work processes fundamentally changed. Blacksmiths were considered the technical pioneers of their era: they heated iron in special furnaces, shaped it with hammer and anvil, and thus created tools, machine parts, or art objects. The workshop was usually filled with sparks and the rhythmic sound of the hammer, while apprentices and interested visitors – symbolized here by the children – watched the experienced craftsmen and carried on the knowledge. The term "industry" is derived, among other things, from the tireless creativity of these metal workers.

A typical blacksmith used, in addition to hammer and anvil, tongs, chisels, and rail forges to bring the metal to the right temperature. The heat was produced by charcoal or later coke, resulting in characteristic smoke trails and striking light reflections in the forge. These exciting visual elements can be particularly well emphasized when coloring: bright orange and red for the glowing iron pieces, cool gray tones for the anvil, and dark brown and black tones for the workshop environment.

Children looking into the scene illustrate how significant craftsmanship was at that time and how much curiosity was aroused. By choosing colors – perhaps colorful clothing for the observers and rustic earth tones for the surroundings – you create the narrative of your own history lesson.
