EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Edward G. Malindine transports us back to the bustling stacking ground at Spring Quarry in Corsham, Wiltshire on the 24th of October, 1928. The image captures a large group of workers engaged in the laborious task of quarrying Bath stone, their faces and clothes covered in dust and dirt as they work tirelessly to extract these precious stones from the earth.
The landscape is dominated by towering stacks of quarried stone, creating a striking visual contrast against the rugged terrain. Each stone is carefully placed atop one another, forming a chaotic yet organized display that speaks to the sheer scale of human effort involved in this industry.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the ingenuity and perseverance of those who came before us, shaping our world through sheer determination and hard work. The timeless quality of this scene serves as a poignant reminder of our shared heritage and the enduring legacy left behind by generations past.
Through Malindine's lens, we are granted a glimpse into a world long gone but not forgotten - a world where sweat and toil were necessary ingredients for progress and prosperity. This print stands as a testament to human resilience and creativity, capturing both the beauty and brutality inherent in our quest for natural resources.
