Robert Hiorne Hobbes; Llanrwst Mine Workings

Description

Print from an engraving, showing a view of the surface works of Llanrwst Lead Mine. Details include the manager's house, stables, steam engines and furnaces.

This print was circulated by Alfred Endean with his letter to fellow shareholders in September 1878 (see DR444/4/1/3/9/2).

Admin History

The engraving from which this print is taken is believed to have been produced by or for Captain William Richards, in connection with his survey and report into the mine commissioned by Alfred Endean (and possibly the directors). Prints from the engraving are believed to have been produced for internal circulation amongst pre-existing shareholders and officers of the company, not for publication.
