Miners extracting ore from a mine (2)

Engraving by Virgilius Solis in Nuremberg (1524-1562). On the left, ore is being extracted with hammer and chisel. The ore is pushed from the mine in carts, and then sought metals are separated from crushed ore with a panning process. A simple wheelbarrow is sitting on the right.
