EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Work in the coal mine, 19th century" takes us back to a time when the coal industry was booming and labor conditions were harsh. The image, captured by an unknown artist in the 19th century, showcases the gritty reality of life for miners during this era. In this particular scene, we see a young girl and a woman working side by side amidst piles of coal. Their faces are smudged with dirt and sweat as they toil away in what was undoubtedly an arduous environment. The determination etched on their faces is palpable, reflecting their resilience and strength despite the challenging circumstances. The chromolithography technique used to reproduce this photograph adds depth and vibrancy to every detail. It brings out the rich hues of earthy browns and grays that dominate the mining landscape while also highlighting subtle nuances like shadows cast by dimly lit lanterns. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills have beautifully preserved this historical moment, allowing viewers to step into a world long gone but not forgotten. Through his lens, he captures both the physical toll taken on these workers' bodies as well as their unwavering spirit. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of our industrial past - one that shaped nations but often at great human cost. It stands as a testament to those who labored tirelessly underground so that others could enjoy progress above ground.
