EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures the resilience and strength of a female labourer at a tin mine in Cornwall during the 19th century. Despite the challenging conditions and physically demanding work, this woman is depicted with determination and focus as she prepares and washes ore on the surface. In a time when women's labor was often overlooked or undervalued, this illustration serves as a reminder of the vital role they played in industries such as mining. The St Just area of Cornwall was known for its rich tin deposits, attracting workers from all walks of life to extract this valuable resource. The image highlights not only the hard work and dedication of this female labourer but also sheds light on the working class struggles faced by miners during this period. It serves as a tribute to those who labored tirelessly to support themselves and their families in difficult circumstances. As we reflect on history through images like these, we are reminded of the importance of recognizing and honoring the contributions of all individuals, regardless of gender or social status. This print is a testament to the unsung heroes who helped shape our world through their perseverance and unwavering commitment to their craft.
