EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the arduous world of slate quarrying in Llanberris, North Wales. The image showcases a group of dedicated workers diligently cutting slate outside the quarry, their faces etched with determination and resilience. The rugged landscape serves as an imposing backdrop, emphasizing the harsh conditions these men faced daily. In this snapshot of history, we witness their unwavering commitment to extracting this precious resource from deep within the earth. Transportation played a vital role in this industry, as depicted by the male railway carriage rail visible in the foreground. This essential link allowed for efficient movement of both workers and materials throughout the mining site. Europe's rich industrial heritage is vividly portrayed through this photograph; it encapsulates an era when mining was at its peak across various regions on the continent. The Hulton Archive has preserved this invaluable piece of history for all to appreciate and reflect upon. Displayed in a classic black frame against a white background, this print exudes timeless elegance while capturing an important chapter in human labor and ingenuity.
