Manufacturing - 3rd Era

This painting on Manufacturing represents the 3rd economic era of our human society. The term Manufacturing means the use of machines, tools and trained labour to make goods for use or for sale. Manufacturing started as handicraft supplement to agriculture and progressed to establish craft guilds. By the 18th century, England started an industrial revolution through introducing the making of steels, machine tools, steam engines, railways as well as factory production. Soon in many parts of Europe and America, manufacturing overtook agriculture to be man's main economic activity. …. This painting shows workers in an early industrial factory working on machine tools powered through belts from the ceiling.
