The image showcases a picturesque scene with a windmill gracefully spinning in the background, while various hoisting equipment and a winch stand prominently near the entrance of the mine. The artist behind this remarkable illustration is Adolph Fries, whose attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. Copied from an original work featured in Felix-Edouard Guerin-Menevilles Dictionnaire Pittoresque d Histoire Naturelle, this handcoloured steel engraving captures every intricate aspect of the iron mine.
