Product Description

In 1861, Hill End's first census revealed a settled village of 36 dwellings with a population of 122 consisting of 76 males (24 married) and 48 females. By 1872, when this photograph was made, an estimated 7000 people lived in and around the town, including about 1200 underground miners, of whom one-third were Cornish. Hill End's population today is just 160. Typical of a boom-and-bust gold town, every building in this photograph has disappeared, the scene now being a grassy yard behind a rickety wooden fence.

Our Giclee prints are made to order from high resolution digital scans on archival cotton rag papers using pigment inks. They are printed with a white border allowing you to mount and frame as desired. A Library disclaimer is also printed along the bottom edge of the print.

Prints may take up to 21 days to produce and will be sent to you rolled in a sturdy tube.

Sample prints are available to inspect at the Library Shop.
