EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of the asbestos mines at Amiandos in the Troodos mountains of Cyprus. Taken on 19th October 1946 by Charles Hewitt for Picture Post, this archival image showcases a significant chapter in European mining history. The landscape stretches out before us, revealing an open country that seems untouched by time. The rugged mountain range looms majestically in the background, providing a dramatic backdrop to the industrial scene unfolding below. The mine workings are visible, with their intricate network of tunnels and structures etched into the earth. Asbestos, once hailed as a miracle material for its fire-resistant properties, was extensively mined here. Its importance to industries such as construction and manufacturing cannot be overstated. However, it is impossible to view this image without acknowledging the devastating health consequences associated with asbestos exposure. In this silent tableau captured by Hewitt's lens, there are no people present – only nature and industry coexisting uneasily. It serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with the natural world and how human activities can leave lasting imprints on landscapes across continents. This print from Fine Art Storehouse invites contemplation about our past reliance on hazardous materials like asbestos while also highlighting the enduring power of photography to document historical moments that shape our understanding of both finance and consumer products today.
