EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of mining in New Mexico during the year 1940. The image showcases a switchboard at a gold mine and mill located in Mogollon, New Mexico. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the intricate machinery and interior workings of the mine. The scene is filled with an air of industry as workers diligently operate the switchboard, overseeing various operations within the gold mine. The mid-century technology stands out against the backdrop of rough-hewn walls, reminding us of both progress and tradition coexisting in this rugged setting. Mogollon, nestled in the heart of southwestern New Mexico, was known for its rich mineral deposits that attracted miners from all corners seeking their fortunes. This photograph serves as a testament to their dedication and hard work. Russell Lee's skillful composition allows viewers to appreciate not only the technical aspects but also feel connected to those who labored underground. It transports us back to an era when mining played a vital role in shaping communities like Mogollon. As we gaze upon this historical print from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of how far we have come since then while acknowledging our roots firmly planted in our industrial past.
