EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Collieries, c1805" offers a glimpse into the bustling world of coal mining in the early 19th century. The image showcases a pithead scene at a coal mine, where various activities are taking place simultaneously. At the bottom of the picture, we see a horse whim in action, diligently raising coal from the depths of the pit. A skilled miner stands nearby, breaking apart chunks of coal with his trusty pickaxe. This juxtaposition highlights both man and animal working harmoniously to extract this valuable fuel source. Moving upwards towards the top left corner, attention is drawn to another crucial aspect of this industry: weighing and loading coal onto carts for transportation. Here we witness men carefully balancing and measuring piles of coal before they are loaded onto waiting carts. On the right side of the image, an innovative balance mounted on a trolley is employed for efficient weighing purposes. This clever use of technology demonstrates how advancements were being made even during this era. The overall composition exudes energy and activity as people go about their tasks amidst horses and equipment. It serves as a testament to not only human ingenuity but also to nature's contribution through these magnificent animals. "Collieries, c1805" captures an important moment in history when coal mining played a pivotal role in powering Britain's industrial revolution. Thanks to William Henry Pyne's meticulous aquatint technique combined with vibrant colors, viewers can immerse themselves in this fascinating snapshot from our past.
