EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative image captures the harsh realities of childhood labor in the coal mines of the 19th century. The older girl, dressed in ragged clothing and wearing a simple apron, carries a heavy burden on her back - a hundredweight and a quarter, or approximately 60kg. The weight of the coal she is transporting is evident in the set of her shoulders and the determined look on her face. The scene is further complicated by the presence of water up to her calves, indicating that she is working in a flooded mine. Coal mining was a dangerous and physically demanding industry, and children were often employed from a young age to work in the mines due to their small size and nimbleness. This photograph, taken in 1842, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the difficult conditions endured by children in the coal mining industry during this time. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hardships faced by young people in the pursuit of economic survival." Mary Evans Picture Library's extensive collection of historical photographs provides valuable insights into the social, political, and cultural history of the past. This image, in particular, sheds light on the harsh realities of childhood labor in the coal mines of the 19th century and offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by young people during this time. The photograph is not only a historical document but also a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing and addressing the exploitation of children in the workforce, both past and present.
