EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the coal mining era of 1860 in Britain. The underground scene depicted showcases the arduous work involved in extracting this precious fuel source. The focus is on a group of hardworking miners, their faces smudged with soot, as they load full baskets (corves) of coal onto a tram wagon using an impressive crane. Intriguingly, pit ponies play a vital role in this process, hauling the heavy loads through the dark tunnels. These loyal creatures were an integral part of underground mining operations during that time, providing much-needed power and support to the workers. The engraving beautifully captures both the physicality and history behind coal mining. It serves as a reminder of England's rich industrial heritage and its reliance on this natural resource for energy production. This particular image is sourced from W Fordyce's renowned book "A History of Coal, Coke, Coal Fields" published in London. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where industries thrived on the sweat and determination of these brave men and their trusty pit ponies. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience while shedding light on our past methods of harnessing power from beneath the earth's surface.
