About the work
Joseph Wright of Derby's painting An Iron Forge was first exhibited in June 1772, and its publication as a mezzotint, executed by the master engraver Richard Earlom, followed six months later. The choice of subject reflects Wright's interest in unusual light effects and his connections to science and industry.
