EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1893 by the renowned Victorian photographer John Charles Burrow, captures a moment in time at the East Pool Mine in Illogan, Cornwall. The image presents three hardy miners, dressed in their traditional working attire, intently focused on their task as they drill an end at the mine. The mine, which was in operation from the late 18th century until the mid-20th century, was once a significant contributor to Cornwall's thriving mining industry. The scene is set against a backdrop of the rugged Cornish landscape, with its undulating hills and rocky outcrops, providing a stark contrast to the dark, enclosed world of the mine. The miners, their faces etched with the marks of toil and grime, appear to be in a state of deep concentration, their bodies poised for the next movement as they continue their laborious work. The dimly lit mine shaft, with its wooden supports and intricate network of tunnels, adds to the sense of depth and mystery, while the shaft's entrance, framed by the miners, draws the viewer's eye into the heart of the photograph. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Cornish miners during the Victorian era, a time when the industry was at its peak. It is a poignant reminder of the hardships and challenges faced by the men who labored beneath the earth, extracting the valuable minerals that helped fuel the economic growth of the region. The photograph also serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Cornish people, who, despite the risks and hardships, continued to work in the mines, driven by the promise of a better future for themselves and their families.
