EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wigan Colliery Girls" offers a glimpse into the lives of two young girls working in the coal mines of Wigan. The image captures the harsh realities faced by these girls as they toil away in dangerous conditions, wearing aprons and clothes that are worn and tattered from their labor.
The historical significance of this photograph is evident, showcasing the class divide and gender roles prevalent during this time period. The presence of a spade in the hands of one girl symbolizes the hard manual labor required in the collieries, while also highlighting the strength and resilience of these young women.
Despite their youth, these girls were forced to work alongside men in an industry known for its grueling demands and poor working conditions. Their faces tell a story of hardship and struggle, yet there is also a sense of determination shining through as they carry out their duties with unwavering resolve.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals throughout history in order to support themselves and their families. It is a powerful testament to the resilience and fortitude displayed by these Wigan colliery girls, who persevered against all odds in pursuit of survival amidst challenging circumstances.
