This engraving, titled "Mining, Frankfurt, 1602" takes us back in time to witness the arduous labor of miners in a bygone era. Created by Theodore de Bry in the late 16th century, this print offers a glimpse into the world of mining during that period. The scene depicts a group of diligent workers toiling away amidst rocky terrain. Their determined faces and muscular bodies reveal their dedication to extracting precious minerals from the earth. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every crevice and crack on the rocks is meticulously etched onto the paper. What makes this image particularly intriguing is its connection to America's early history.
