EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century, providing a glimpse into the bustling world of Dolcoath Mine in Camborne, Cornwall. The engraving titled "Dolcoath Copper Mine" was created by Thomas Allom in 1831 for Cornwall Illustrated. The focal point of this image is the impressive 76" engine house with its towering structure and adjacent capstan. This powerful engine, erected in 1815, symbolizes the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the time. It served as a vital component in extracting copper from deep within the mine's depths. Surrounding the engine house are various elements that bring life to this industrial scene. A launder can be seen nearby, used for transporting water or ore throughout the mining operation. Additionally, we catch a glimpse of bal maidens diligently working alongside these structures. These women played an essential role in Cornish mining history, responsible for dressing and processing minerals extracted from underground. As we explore this historical snapshot further, it becomes evident that Dolcoath Mine was at the forefront of mining innovation during its time. Notably, an even larger 85" engine replaced this remarkable piece of machinery in 1869 – a testament to continuous advancements within Cornwall's mining industry. Through this print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to an era where miners and workers labored tirelessly beneath our feet while pushing boundaries in both technology and industry.
