EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the iron mining industry of that era. The antique engraving showcases a horse powered windlass, an obsolete piece of machinery used in pit mines during this period. The image depicts a freight elevator being operated by horses, symbolizing the reliance on animal power before the advent of modern technology. The Victorian-style illustration exudes history and nostalgia as it captures the essence of a bygone era. It transports us to a place where hardworking miners labored tirelessly underground, shaping our industrial past. The towering shaft tower stands tall against the backdrop of an industrial building, reminding us of the significant role these structures played in supporting mining operations. The horse family featured in this image represents not only their vital contribution to human progress but also highlights their significance as living organisms within the natural world. This engraving serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our interconnectedness with other species. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Nastasic's collection, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of industry and innovation. It is through images like these that we can appreciate our roots while marveling at how much has changed over time.
