Natblad transporteur 1931 - 1937

This photograph, called Natblad transporteur, lives at the Rijksmuseum, and was made at some time in the past by an anonymous artist. It’s like this photograph is a puzzle, an industrial scene almost bursting out of its frame. What was the photographer thinking when they made this? Did they feel small in comparison to this big machine? Maybe they felt really in awe of how it all works, and the scale of everything! Look at all the metal and the machinery, it dominates the whole scene. It's like the architecture of industry itself. Each photograph is not an end point, but part of an ongoing conversation. I wonder if it inspired some other artist or photographer to think differently about the world?
