EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 1800s transports us back in time to the heart of Cornwall's mining industry. The image showcases a scene at Dolcoath Mine, Camborne, where tin dressing frames take center stage. These frames were essential tools used in the process of separating valuable tin ore from waste material. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details of these frames, which are surrounded by a group of Bal maidens and an overseer. Dressed in traditional Cornish attire, these hardworking women played a crucial role in the mining industry, tirelessly sorting through rocks and minerals to extract precious tin. As we gaze into this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn towards Stamps engine house and Brea on the horizon. These landmarks serve as reminders of both human ingenuity and nature's enduring presence amidst industrialization. Renowned photographer John Charles Burrow skillfully captured this moment with remarkable clarity and precision. His lens not only immortalizes an important chapter in Cornish history but also offers us a glimpse into the lives of those who dedicated themselves to Cornwall's mining heritage. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print serves as a testament to the resilience and determination that defined Cornwall's miners during this era. It invites viewers to reflect upon their contributions while marveling at their craftsmanship and unwavering spirit that shaped one of England's most significant industries.
