EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1919 captures a moment in the rich mining history of Cornwall. The image showcases the Geevor Mine, located in Pendeen, St Just in Penwith, against a backdrop of rugged beauty. A group of miners proudly pose at the surface of the Wheel Carne shaft, their weathered faces and worn hands telling tales of hard work and resilience. In this snapshot frozen in time, each miner holds timber working tools essential to their trade - an axe, saw, or lump hammer. Two workers illuminate the scene with carbide lamps strapped to their heads while others rely on flickering candlelight for visibility underground. Amidst this gathering stands a worker on the right who exudes an air of distinction; he dons a military uniform jacket and casually smokes his pipe. The identity of the photographer remains unknown but they have expertly captured not only these miners' physicality but also their spirit and camaraderie. This photograph serves as a testament to both the grit and ingenuity that defined Cornish mining during this era. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this poignant image offers viewers a glimpse into an industry that shaped countless lives and landscapes throughout Cornwall's history. It is a reminder of our shared heritage and pays homage to those whose labor contributed so significantly to our past.
