EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1556, titled "Means of transporting ore which has been won from a mine" offers us a glimpse into the laborious process of mining and transporting precious minerals. In the foreground, we see a horse-drawn sledge, symbolizing one of the primary means of transport used during that era. The sledge is loaded with heavy sacks filled with ore, highlighting the immense physical effort required in this industry. Moving towards point D in the image, dogs are being employed as pack animals to assist in carrying loads of valuable minerals. This depiction emphasizes how humans utilized various creatures for their strength and agility to aid them in their mining endeavors. At point E, an intriguing sight unfolds as a man pulls full pig skins behind him. These skins were likely used to store or protect smaller quantities of extracted ore during transportation. Further along at point B, we witness an adventurous individual riding a sledge down a slope. This daring act showcases both the ingenuity and risk-taking nature inherent in early mining practices. The woodcut print originates from De re metallica by Georg Bauer (pseudonym Agricola) published in Basle. It serves as an invaluable historical artifact shedding light on centuries-old techniques employed within the mining industry.
