EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph, titled "The 180 at East Pool mine" takes us back to the industrial era of Victorian Cornwall. Captured in 1893 by photographers J. C. Burrows and William Thomas, this image is an illustration from their book "Mongst mines and miners, or Underground Scenes by Flash-Light". The photo showcases a group of hardworking labourers amidst the intricate scaffolding inside the mine. These courageous men are seen engaged in their daily toil, embodying the essence of dedication and resilience that characterized Cornish workers during this time. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail, this photograph transports us into the depths of Cornwall's mining industry. The dimly lit underground scene evokes a sense of mystery and awe as we witness these brave individuals navigating through treacherous conditions for their livelihoods. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it serves as a reminder of the immense contributions made by these unsung heroes who labored tirelessly beneath our feet. Their unwavering commitment played a vital role in shaping not only Cornwall's economy but also its cultural identity. Preserved within private collections like The Stapleton Collection, photographs like these offer us glimpses into our past while honoring those whose efforts have often gone unnoticed. This sepia print stands as a testament to both the artistry behind early photography techniques and the enduring spirit of laborers who shaped industries worldwide.
