EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 1800s, capturing a moment deep within the heart of Cornwall's mining history. Titled "New Cooks Kitchen, Illogan, Cornwall" this image offers a glimpse into the life of a solitary miner at the 234 level. Photographed by John Charles Burrow, an acclaimed artist from that era, this picture transports us underground where miners toiled tirelessly in search of precious minerals. The dimly lit tunnel reveals worn props supporting the weight above as they navigate through this subterranean world. The miner stands alone amidst the darkness, his silhouette casting eerie shadows on the rough-hewn walls. His weathered face tells tales of hardship and determination as he carries out his arduous work far away from daylight. This photograph not only captures an individual but also represents an entire industry that shaped Cornwall's identity during those times. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless men who risked their lives daily for their families and communities. Preserved now within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this image allows us to reflect upon our past and appreciate how far we have come since then. It is a testament to human resilience and ingenuity while honoring those who labored beneath our feet in pursuit of progress and prosperity.
