For many men and women, the modern factory represented their primary experience of the Industrial Revolution. Certainly, the human impact of factory labor was a central feature in the debate about this massive transformation of economic life. Visual Source 17.3, an 1874 painting by English artist Eyre Crowe, shows a number of young women factory workers during their dinner hour outside the cotton textile mill in the industrial town of Wigan.
