EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the 19th century and immersing us in the bustling world of granite quarries. The engraving, created by an English School artist and now part of a private collection, showcases the raw beauty and immense scale of the industry. The scene unfolds before our eyes with meticulous detail. We are transported to La Moye in Jersey, one of the Channel Islands renowned for its rich granite deposits. The sheer magnitude of these quarries is awe-inspiring; vast stretches of rocky terrain dotted with workers tirelessly extracting blocks of stone from nature's embrace. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that this image was not merely intended as a visual spectacle but also as an informative piece. Originally published in The Illustrated Times on April 2nd, 1870, it served as an educational tool for readers eager to learn about various industries shaping society during that era. Today, this remarkable print serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and a reminder of our industrial heritage. It invites us to reflect upon how far we have come while acknowledging those who labored relentlessly within these quarries.
