Any photo taken at ANY point in the 19th century was taken AFTER the Industrial Revolution took off, not BEFORE it. The Industrial Revolution started in 1700, with Jethro Tull's invention of the horse-drawn seed drill, which dramatically improved crop yields. In in 1712, Thomas Newcomen's steam engine made dramatic improvements in efficiency compared to the very primitive steam engine designed by Thomas Savery in 1698. That invention allowed for deep coal mines which would otherwise be unworkable to flooding, and greatly reduced the price of coal. Then came James Hargreaves' 'Spinning Jenny' in 1764-65, which allowed the industrialisation of the textile industry - and, in 1765, James Watt made yet another crucial breakthrough in the steam engine, whereby it not only produced greatly more power per ton of coal, but also had a rotary shaft output, making it idea for powering mass-production textile mills and engineering works. Long before 1840, the basis of modern transport was in place. In 1802, William Symington built the first practical steam vessel, the tug 'Charlotte Dundas', and in 1829, George Stephenson made steam loco hauled trains a viable and efficient proposition. Tull, Newcomen, Savery, Hargreaves and Stephenson were all English, and Watt and Symington were Scots.

it's called individualism. Our Constitution set the individual free. Something the left is trying to do away with every day.

I think your dates are off a bit. The industrial revolution began at Slater Mill Pawtucket Rhode Island in 1793 and was in full swing within 20 years, long before your photos were taken. The industrial revolution is defined as the beginning of mass production of manufactured goods. Textiles were the first to be mass produced. By 1810-1820 Rhode Island and Massachusetts were mass producing every conceivable manufactured item from textiles to silverwares, glass wares, ceramic wares and all manner of metal wares and items made from wood. Factories abounded throughout both states. Mass production did eventually make it's way to other states but it started in Southern New England. In Natick Mass my great, great, great, great grandfather was one of hundreds of shoe makers mass producing shoes in that period. In Taunton MA silver and copper goods were mass produced by 1830. Jewelry production was in full swing in southeastern MA and Rhode island by 1840. Glass factories existed in Boston, New Bedford and Sandwich by 1820. I could go on but I think you get the idea.

Think you'll find your a bit off, it's commonly known that the " Industrial revolution " began in Great Britain, the technological advances started there sooner at 1760, go and actually read some historical facts.

First off the Industrial Revolution began in the early/mid 1700s, secondly mass studio portrait photography began around 1855 with `carte de visite` size mounted which were largely replaced with the larger cabinet card photos about 15 years later. Long after the Revolution got started.

The date of the construction of parliament in Ottawa is wrong. It says 1857 but ground was not broken for it until 1859. The original buildings burned in 1916.

All without the conception of the Fed and Income tax.

The fact that you have these photographies means that the industrial revolution had begun.

Fantastic!! But, didn't the industrial revolution start in the 18th century?

The first Industrial Revolution (the one people think of when it is talked about) was from 1760 to 1840. The American Industrial Revolution (sometimes referred to as the Second Industrial Revolution) did sputter into life sometime in the 1850s but didn't really kick off properly until the 1870s and carried right up to the start of the First World War in 1914. So, you may want to correct the title as the world was well into the Industrial Revolution by the 1850s; as shown by your pictures of Brunel and the Great Eastern which demonstrate that the IR was well advanced by this time. (No wonder American education gets such a bashing when it only takes into account American history and ignores what was going on in the rest of the world.) Nice pictures though.

Not a certified truth... Second industrial revolution came in account of steam power development and railroad constructions in England, beginnings of 19th century. Germany was responsable of important consumables that came excessively into market circulation after the expansion of railroads, remember the Suez canal that were in early developments. The US was yet abdicating slavery for economic purposes... Later after Civil War making an important position with the investment of scientific research that boosted agricultural machinery and, of course, the implementation of work methods inherent of superproduction: taylorism and fordism.

Photography had only just been invented when these were taken. The exposure time was in the order of seconds to minutes. That's why you rarely see people who are not posing and why flags etc are ghosts! 😉

When you think that most of these lived in the time of Napoleon and the French Revolution, you are shocked when you see their real photos, if only the camera had been invented earlier than that

Not seen in the photo, President Van Buren is showing eight fingers, the sign of the Van Buren Boys. Of whom he was the founder and namesake.

Industrilization is the biggest curse

_«Le Zouave»_ is a french name for Zig-Zag _papiers à cigarettes_ and more importantly that swarthy dude on the little packet which is their brand mascot. "The story goes like this: during the siege of Sevastopol, a young Zouave narrowly avoided being struck by a stray bullet. Though the soldier himself remained unscathed, the bullet shattered his clay pipe. Being rather ingenious, and not wanting to go without his tobacco, the clever Zouave tore off a strip from his bag of gunpowder and used it to roll a cigarette. The myth spread around France for years until 1879 when Zig-Zag decided to pay tribute to the resourcefulness of that unknown Zouave by creating their now famous logo out of his potential likeness." He is an internationally recognised "face", one which has had different likenesses over the years, one being more realistic and another like the one we know but with a lit fag dangling from his lips (I guess this became too pc for today's cancel culturals (tseh!)). I always thought he was a greek, from when we were little more than slaves under the ottoman yoke, or an arab, which they do speak in the Magreb, but now I know about his history, and your image of these Zouaves has better educated me. Thankee 💙 L'image des Zouaves au Camp de Châlons on la trouve par là: 01:08

These photos of places should be shown along side the modern view today. Colorizing these photos would be great as well. I don't think everybody wore black in the 1850s. I love the stove pipe hats.
