EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Copper Mining in New Caledonia" takes us back to the late 19th century and offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of copper mining. Engraved by Gillot, a renowned artist of that era, this colour lithograph showcases the intricate details and vibrant hues that bring this scene to life. The image transports us to the French penal colony in New Caledonia after 1864. Here, we witness a group of labourers diligently working amidst the rugged terrain. These workers include prisoners who were exiled to this remote Pacific island as part of their punishment. The harshness of colonialism is evident as these convicts laboriously extract metal ore from deep within the mine. The print not only captures their physical exertion but also hints at their resilience and determination despite their circumstances. It serves as a powerful reminder of human strength and adaptability even in challenging environments. Displayed by Bridgeman Images, this historical artwork provides valuable insights into both the mining industry and colonial history during that time period. With its rich cultural significance and artistic brilliance, it continues to captivate viewers today.
