EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from around 1910 showcases the Park-an-Chy Mine in Gwennap, Cornwall. The image transports us back to a bygone era, where the mining industry thrived amidst the rugged Cornish landscape. In this particular scene, three carters with their trusty horses and wagons take center stage. The men stand proudly beside their loaded wagons, exuding an air of resilience and determination that was characteristic of those working in the mines during this time. Their weathered faces tell tales of hard labor and long hours spent on these very grounds. The horses, strong and sturdy companions, seem equally accustomed to the demanding tasks at hand. Photographer Samuel John Govier skillfully captures this slice of history with his lens. His composition highlights not only the human element but also provides a glimpse into the surface operations of Park-an-Chy Mine itself. The mine's structures loom in the background - silent witnesses to countless stories etched into its walls. This photograph is a testament to both Cornwall's rich mining heritage and Govier's talent for capturing poignant moments frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of how integral mining was to Cornish life while honoring those who dedicated themselves to such arduous work. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print allows viewers to immerse themselves in an era defined by grit, perseverance, and unwavering spirit - all encapsulated within one frame that speaks volumes about our shared past.
