EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the world of Tresahor Quarry in Constantine, Cornwall, during the years 1903-1904. The image showcases a general view of the quarry, with its rugged landscape dominated by massive granite blocks waiting to be transformed into building stones. Standing tall amidst this scene is an imposing crane, which played a crucial role in moving these heavy blocks with precision and efficiency. The photograph is part of the esteemed Freeman & Sons, Penryn Collection at the Royal Cornwall Museum. Although taken by an unknown photographer, it beautifully documents the laborious process involved in extracting minerals from Cornish quarries. Skilled craftsmen can be seen diligently working with chisels and hammers to shape and dress these stones for construction purposes. A group of hardworking men can also be spotted within this snapshot, embodying the essence of manual labor that was characteristic of this era. Chains hang from various points around them as they navigate their way through Mabe Quarries' challenging terrain. The inclusion of ladders and tools strewn across the site further emphasizes both the physical demands placed upon these workers and their commitment to their trade. This photo serves as a valuable record not only for historical documentation but also as a testament to human resilience in overcoming nature's obstacles
