EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing a moment on Freeman & Sons dressing floor, most likely located in Penryn, Cornwall. The image showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and dedication of workers involved in the cornish mineral extraction industry. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the classical granite columns that dominate the dressing floor. These majestic structures stand tall as a testament to human ingenuity and skill. A man, believed to be either Bernard Freeman or his brother, stands proudly amidst this impressive backdrop. His face reflects years of hard work and expertise in this demanding trade. Surrounded by their essential tools - chisels, hammers, chains - these labourers meticulously dress stones with precision and care. Each worker plays an integral role in transforming raw granite into building materials that will shape Cornwall's architectural landscape. The presence of a ladder hints at both the physical challenges faced by these craftsmen as well as their unwavering determination to reach greater heights within their profession. This snapshot provides a glimpse into an era when manual labor was valued for its contribution to local industries. Preserved within the Freeman & Sons Collection at Penryn, this photograph serves as a valuable record of Cornwall's rich industrial heritage. It reminds us of our ancestors' resilience and dedication while extracting precious minerals from Mabe quarries
