EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 16th century, depicting the silver mine of La Croix-aux-Mines in Lorraine. The image showcases fol. 3v and 4r, showcasing the transportation of wood during that era. Created by Heinrich Gross or Groff, this pen and ink drawing with watercolor on paper is now housed in the Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The picture portrays a male-dominated rural landscape with a quaint village church steeple as its backdrop. The focus lies on timber transport, where peasants are seen using oxen to pull heavy wooden trunks using harnesses and yokes. A horse can also be spotted being ridden by someone involved in this laborious task. The image provides insight into the mining industry of that time period, highlighting the importance of wood for various purposes within mines. It showcases how workers used their strength to move these large loads while wearing hoods for protection against potential hazards. This historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into Renaissance-era mining practices and serves as an invaluable study for those interested in understanding how laborers worked during this period. With its detailed sketch-like quality, it transports viewers back to c. 1530 when such scenes were commonplace in France's mining regions like La Croix-aux-Mines.
