EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1867, offering a rare glimpse into the dangerous world of coal mining near Pottsville, Pennsylvania. The wood engraving depicts a pivotal moment as miners blast at the face of a coal mine, using dynamite to extract this precious resource from deep within the earth. The scene is filled with intensity and action; men equipped with headlamps work tirelessly amidst an explosion that illuminates their determined faces. The mid-19th century setting transports us to an era when mining was arduous and perilous labor. Every detail in this image tells a story - from the sturdy mine carts waiting patiently for their load to be hauled away, to the dark shaft leading deeper into darkness. It serves as a reminder of both human resilience and vulnerability in these treacherous underground environments.
