The American painter Lionel Walden studied in Paris and visited Britain several times during the 1890s. This is a preliminary sketch for a large painting of the same title. It depicts the furnaces of the Dowlais steelworks, built in 1888 near Cardiff docks. Originally established by the end of the nineteenth century, the Dowlais works was one of the largest in the world.

Thank you very much for your comment. I see that you have also requested a print here, at the webpage for Walden's larger painting for which this was a preparatory study. Could you please confirm that you do in fact want prints of both, or would you rather one or the other? I would then be happy to put you in touch with our image licensing team to have a print made for you.
Kind regards,
