EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Sixty Thousand Tons of Rock displaced by a Blast started by the Princess of Wales" takes us back to a remarkable moment in history. Captured by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases the power and influence held by royalty. Intriguingly, it portrays a controlled explosion initiated by none other than the Princess of Wales herself. The blast occurred at the Dinorwick Slate Quarries in Llanberis, Wales, resulting in an astonishing displacement of sixty thousand tons of rock. This extraordinary event was documented for The Illustrated London News on May 17,1902. The photograph not only highlights the immense force unleashed but also symbolizes the progressive spirit and determination exhibited by both British royalty and society as a whole during that era. It serves as a testament to their ability to shape landscapes and push boundaries. This rare glimpse into history reminds us of Mr Assheton Smith's expertise in conducting such controlled explosions while under royal supervision. The presence of Her Royal Highness adds an air of grandeur to this already awe-inspiring scene. Preserved within a private collection, this photographic masterpiece allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. As we gaze upon this striking image captured through mzphoto's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how even princesses can leave their mark on our world – quite literally!
