Miners extracting ore from a mine (7)

Depiction of mining as part of a large, engraved plate concerning Liège, Belgium, by Bohemian graphic artist Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677), ca 1657. A miner with a pickaxe is walking with two women. One woman carries a large basket of ore on her back, while the other pushes ore in a wheelbarrow. In the background on the left, a man is riding a horse that is pulling a large cart full of ore.
