Thrift
In England it is one of the richest countries in the world. There is an accumulation of wealth in the country to which past times can offer no parallel. The bank is filled with gold, there is no food in the empire,nor money either. There is no end to the manufacturing productions for the steam engine never tires. Notwithstanding with all this wealth, there is a big mass of poverty. Reporters constantly revealed to them as miseries endured by certain portions of the work populations. They have described the people employed in factories, workshops, mines and brickfield as in the pursuits of the country life. Much of the existing misery is caused by the selfishness by the greed to accumulate wealth on the one hand and on the other.
Art and the industrial revolution
In the mid 19th centuries the industrial revolution and a growing global empire had generated for many people in Great Britain feelings of big pride, achievement, and superiority. Nowhere did it register more clearly than in the crystal palace exhibition in 1851. It was held in London the exhibition was housed in a big structure made of cast iron and glass constructed in only nine months. It attracted more than 6 million visitors and contained 14,000 exhibits from all around the world. The most prominent symbol of the industrial revolution was the railroads. It was a thing of wonder, power, and speed. The iron railroad provided a magicians road.
The art revolution also allowed people to use different ways of expression during that time and even know it can be used in the same way.
