The industrial revolution

de Lewis Helfand

While we all know that large scale industrialisation began in the eighteenth century, the Industrial Revolution truly began in Germany with Johannes Gutenberg and his printing press. His innovation made it possible to mass produce books, which spread literacy and knowledge all across Europe. It was in the eighteenth century, however, that manual labour started being replaced by what we today know as machines. This exciting, educational comic book brings those times to life in full colour.
