1. Title: "Cape Cornwall's Industrial Landscape: A Stereoscopic Glimpse into the Past" In this stereoscopic view from the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported back in time to the early 1900s and the rugged coastline of Cape Cornwall in St. Just, Cornwall. The photograph, though the identity of the photographer remains unknown, offers a unique perspective of the area's industrial landscape, showcasing the coexistence of nature and human ingenuity. At the heart of this image lies the imposing stack, a testament to the mining industry that once dominated this region. The stack, with its distinctive conical shape, stands tall against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, its purpose being to disperse the harmful gases produced during the mining process. The engine house, nestled at the base of the stack, is a symbol of the technological advancements that enabled the extraction of valuable minerals from the earth. The hillside, dotted with trees and shrubs, adds a touch of greenery to the otherwise industrial scene. The crashing waves of the ocean in the foreground and the vast expanse of the sea beyond, serve as a reminder of the raw, untamed power of nature. The interplay of light and shadow, created by the sun peeking through the clouds, adds depth and dimension to the photograph. This stereoscopic view offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a glimpse of the rich industrial history of Cape Cornwall and St. Just in Penwith. It serves as a reminder of the people who lived and worked in this area, their struggles, and their achievements. This photograph is not just a visual representation of a bygone era, but a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the human spirit.
