The picture represented a blacksmith and two helpers forging a piece of iron. Before beginning the job a bottle was passed from one to the other, each imbibing his portion. The blacksmith then removed his white-hot iron from the forge with a pair of tongs and gave directions to his herpers with his small hand hammer, when they immediately began to pound the hot iron, while the sparks flew in all directions, the blacksmith at the same time making intermediate strokes with his hand hammer. At a signal from the smith, the helpers put down their sledge hammers, when the iron was returned to the forge and another piece substituted for it, and the operation was repeated. The scene represented three men in a forge hammering a piece of red-hot iron. The picture was so perfect in action, perspective ans proportion, that it was exactly the same as if the scene was witnessed through a camera obscura. Every action of the men was shown. One suddenly threw down his hammer and motioned toward a bottle of lager beer on the ground. This was handed to him by one of the other men. He lifted it to his mouth and took a long drink and, after banding it to the second man, spat on his hands and grabbed his hammer, beginning to pound the iron on the anvil with renewed strength. The smoke from the forge rose steadily into the air in curves and circles, and the sparks from the anvil flew in all directions. |
