EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage photo print, we are transported back to the early 1900s, witnessing a bustling scene at East Pool Mine in Illogan, Cornwall. The surface view of the mine works is beautifully framed by the East Pool stamps, showcasing the architectural marvels of that era. With keen eyes and skilled lenses, photographers John Charles Burrow or Herbert Hughes have immortalized this moment for us to appreciate today. The image portrays a hive of activity as miners go about their daily tasks amidst an industrial backdrop. Towering above them stands a grand chimney stack, billowing smoke into the sky – evidence of the relentless energy powering this mining operation. A majestic horse-drawn cart waits patiently nearby, ready to transport valuable minerals extracted from deep within Earth's crust. Intriguingly, tucked away amongst these structures is a modest house - perhaps belonging to one of the workers who dedicated their lives to this arduous profession. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every great industry lies countless stories of human endeavor and resilience. This snapshot allows us to reflect upon Cornwall's rich mining heritage while appreciating both its historical significance and aesthetic charm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded not only of our past but also how far we have come on our journey towards progress.
