EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online takes us back in time to the coal mining industry of South Wales in the late 19th century. The image showcases a young collier, approximately 14 years old, working at a colliery in Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire. It is a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by children as young as ten who were employed in these mines. The boy's youthful appearance contrasts with his grimy face and worn-out clothing, highlighting the toll that this demanding work took on him at such a tender age. His cap sits low on his forehead, partially covering his fringe and shielding his eyes from the dirt and dust that filled the air. Equipped with only a hammer-like tool, he stands amidst an industrial landscape characterized by flat terrain covered in coal residue. This historical photograph offers us insight into Victorian-era working conditions and serves as a poignant reminder of child labor practices during this period. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time from 1890s Wales, we are reminded of the resilience and determination exhibited by those who toiled underground to fuel Britain's booming coal industry.
