EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia print takes us back in time to the year 1893, providing a glimpse into the world of miners and their arduous work. Titled "Above the 406, Cooks Kitchen mine" this illustration is part of the renowned book "Mongst mines and miners, or Underground Scenes by Flash-Light" authored by J. C. Burrows and William Thomas. The image transports us deep underground, where we witness a group of hardworking labourers going about their daily tasks in Cooks Kitchen mine. The Victorian-era workers are captured against a backdrop of scaffolding that stretches as far as the eye can see, emphasizing both the scale and complexity of their industrial environment. With each miner donning his rugged attire and equipped with necessary tools for excavation, they embody resilience and determination despite facing challenging conditions. This photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment towards Cornwall's mining industry during that era. The sepia tone adds an air of nostalgia to this remarkable piece from John Charles Burrow's private collection. It reminds us not only of our rich historical heritage but also pays homage to these unsung heroes who played an integral role in shaping our society today. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but appreciate the sacrifices made by these men whose efforts paved the way for progress in mining technology while leaving an indelible mark on Cornwall's history.
