Cornish Tin Mines greeting cards - beautifully printed and designed to make an impression.
A black and white view of South Wheal Frances Mine with its prominent chimney gives this scene a clear and engaging presence on a greeting card. The strong composition and historic subject make it suitable for a wide range of occasions.
South Wheal Frances is a former copper and tin mine on the Great Flat Lode, just south of Camborne, Cornwall, and was the largest of the four setts that eventually amalgamated under the umbrella of Basset Mines Ltd.
Mining began in the local area in the early 1720s and by the early 20th century, several thousand men, women, bal maidens and children worked in the mine, however a slump in tin prices during World War I led to the mine's closure in 1918. Once part of a network of mines that shaped the Cornish landscape and economy, the remaining engine houses and chimneys now stand as reminders of 19th-century mining activity. These structures were built to house steam engines used for pumping water and raising ore from deep underground.
Captured in monochrome, the engine house is framed by dense vegetation with a tall chimney rising beside it. The dark tones of the foliage contrast with the lighter stonework, while the sky adds texture and depth. The composition focuses on the strong vertical form of the chimney and the surrounding structure.
