EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history from 1869, showcasing the intense and dangerous process of tin mining in Cornwall. The image depicts a winze-shaft, also known as sinking, in a Cornish tin mine, providing a glimpse into the harsh conditions faced by miners during this time period.
The stark black and white tones of the photograph emphasize the gritty reality of working underground in the mining industry. The intricate details of the equipment used and the rugged terrain surrounding the shaft transport viewers back to a time when manual labor was at its peak.
Cornwall has long been associated with its rich mining history, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that tin played in shaping both local communities and global industries. The dedication and resilience of these miners is palpable through their tireless efforts to extract precious metals from deep within the earth.
As we reflect on this historical snapshot captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who labored tirelessly beneath our feet to fuel industrial progress. This print stands as a testament to their enduring legacy and serves as an important piece of our shared heritage.
