This print captures the essence of industrialization in 18th century Britain. Titled "Fodina argentea Sahlensis - A Silver Mine at Sala - I" it is an engraving by William Hogarth from Aubry de La Mottrayes' book "Travels throughout Europe, Asia and into Part of Africa. . " published in London in 1724. The image showcases a bustling silver mine located in Sala, Sweden. The underground tunnels are depicted with intricate detail, showcasing the laborious work that took place within them. Men can be seen operating an elevator lift, transporting workers and materials to different levels of the mine. Hogarth's satirical style adds depth to this historical scene, highlighting the harsh realities faced by those involved in mining during this era.

It serves as a reminder of the immense contribution made by individuals who labored tirelessly to fuel industrial progress.
