EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bilston - a section of Bradley Mine" takes us back to the year 1806, offering a glimpse into the coal mining industry in Staffordshire, UK. The engraving, created by Francis Eginton, measures 45.7x61 cm and is now housed at The William Salt Library. Coloured meticulously by hand, this artwork showcases the intricate details of a section of Bradley Mine near Bilston. It vividly illustrates the various strata found within the mine and provides an insight into the laborious operations carried out by miners to extract Ten Yard Coal. The print reveals a primitive winding engine that was used during that era alongside men diligently working below ground. Additionally, it features pit ponies and bare lights which were essential components of mining expeditions during this time period. Of particular interest is the inscription found under the middle portion of the engraving: Miner Rd. Taylor. This detail adds a personal touch to an otherwise historical depiction, reminding viewers that real individuals dedicated their lives to this demanding profession. Through this remarkable image from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness not only architectural elements such as buildings and chapels but also gain insights into landscapes shaped by industrialization.
