The wood engraving showcases a group of determined men chiseling away at the face of the lead in a dimly lit coal mine shaft. With their heads adorned by protective hats and illuminated by flickering lanterns and headlamps, these brave workers navigate through an interior that is both treacherous and unforgiving. The image captures not only their physical labor but also their unwavering spirit amidst challenging conditions. Each miner wields a pick or chisel with precision and strength as they extract this vital resource from deep within the earth. Nearby, a mine cart stands ready to transport their hard-earned spoils to the surface.
