EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1843, providing a glimpse into the coal mining operations at Ying Tih, located on the Pe Kiang River in China. The image is a steel engraving created by Thomas Allom, showcasing his remarkable talent for capturing intricate details and conveying the essence of this significant industry. The scene depicts a bustling landscape with workers diligently engaged in their tasks. A group of miners can be seen toiling away within a mid-mountain tunnel, extracting valuable coal from deep within the earth. Their determination and resilience are evident as they navigate through this challenging environment. In the foreground, row boats manned by skilled boatmen traverse along the river's surface, transporting both workers and supplies to and from the mine. The surrounding cliffs add an element of grandeur to this picturesque setting while emphasizing nature's role in shaping these mining operations. This historic print not only offers insight into China's rich industrial heritage but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. It reminds us of our collective ability to harness natural resources for progress while acknowledging that such endeavors often come at great cost. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this extraordinary piece allows us to appreciate both Thomas Allom's artistic brilliance and the significance of coal mining in shaping China's past.
