EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1911 with this print of a tunnel in St. Davids Mine, Wales. The image showcases two miners hard at work, pushing a cart filled with ore along the dark and narrow passageway of the mine. This particular mine, located near Carnarvon in Wales, was known for its gold production during that era.
The St. Davids Mine was an impressive 500 feet deep and was just one of three mines in Wales producing gold at the time. The historical significance of this photograph is truly remarkable, offering a glimpse into the lives of miners and the harsh conditions they faced underground.
As you study this image, you can almost feel the weight of the ore being pushed by these dedicated workers as they navigate through the depths of the mine. The dim lighting and rough walls surrounding them add to the authenticity and rawness captured in this moment.
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online allows you to transport yourself back over a century ago to witness firsthand what life was like for miners in Wales during a time when gold mining played a significant role in shaping local economies.
