BOOK ABOUT THE ROYAL BRASS FACTORY FOUNDATION (SPANISH)
Joanes Georgius Josephus Graubner y la Fundación de las Reales Fábricas de Latón de Riópar, is the first work published by the Friends of the Royal Factories of Riópar Association. The author is indeed the current president of the association, Jose Manuel Moreno Sánchez. It covers the time gap from 1772 to 1801.
Written in Spanish, the work highlights the enormous difficulties the Austrian ingenieer had to face to settle the foundations of the first industrial site in Spain able to produce brass in different shapes(lingots, planks and threads) and paints a clear canvas of what was happening in the last quarter of the 18th century in Spain and the beggining of the industrial revolution in this country. A must if you want to understand the evolution of the Royal Brass Factories in Riópar.
