EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Silver mine of La Croix-aux-Mines in Lorraine, France during the 16th century. The image showcases two folios, fol. 1v and fol. 2, depicting the judge of the mines in his seat along with an edict and oath of the companions. The artist, Heinrich Gross or Groff, skillfully used pen & ink & w/c on paper to bring this historical scene to life. In this intriguing composition, we see a male figure dressed in traditional mining attire seated at a table adorned with various tools and documents. He holds a raised hand as if reading or reciting important regulations that govern mining operations. His feathered hat adds an air of authority while a quill and inkpot suggest administrative duties. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line meticulously drawn by Gross/Groff transports us back in time to witness this significant moment in mining history. The inclusion of a sword hanging on the wall hints at potential conflicts that may arise within this industry. This print offers viewers a glimpse into not only the physical aspects but also the social dynamics surrounding silver mining during that era. It serves as both an educational resource for those interested in historical research and as a beautiful piece of art capturing an essential part of our past.
