EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases the historic Levant Mine in St Just, Penwith, Cornwall. The wide general view captures the essence of this significant mining site, with its head gear of skip shaft and winding engine house prominently featured in the foreground on the right. Standing proudly above the rugged cliffs is the arsenic stack, a testament to the industrial importance of this location. To add to its charm and functionality, an inclined tramway can be seen on the left side of skip shaft headgear, complete with a tramwagon perched at its summit. This transportation system was crucial for moving materials efficiently within and around Levant Mine. Intriguingly placed in the background on the left is Pendeen lighthouse, providing a stunning juxtaposition between man-made structures and nature's beauty. Its presence serves as a reminder that even amidst intense mining activities, Cornwall's breathtaking coastal landscape remains ever-present. This remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into Cornish history by capturing not only Levant Mine but also elements that make it unique - from its surface features to its connection with nearby landmarks like Pendeen lighthouse. It stands as a powerful visual representation of Cornwall's rich mining heritage and serves as an important piece within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection.
