This print from the late 1800s transports us back in time to the heart of Cornwall's mining industry.

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.
