EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of miners in Zonguldak, Turkey, during the early 20th century. The image was taken at the Kerpitchlik mines, located in the historic city of Heraclea, which served as the capital of Zonguldak Province in the Black Sea region. The discovery of coal in this area dates back to the reign of Sultan Mahmud II in the late 18th century, and its extraction began during the Abdulmecid era in the mid-19th century. The Ottoman Heraclea Coal Collective, of which these miners were a part, played a significant role in the Ottoman Empire's industrialization. The coal extracted from these mines was used to fuel the empire's expanding railways, power its factories, and exported to other countries. The miners in this photograph are shown working in a pit, likely extracting coal using pickaxes and shovels. The harsh conditions of the mining industry are evident in their weathered faces and worn clothing. The men work in a cloud of dust, with only the dim light of lanterns illuminating their surroundings. Despite the challenging conditions, the miners of Zonguldak played a crucial role in Turkey's history. Their labor contributed to the growth of the coal industry and helped shape the country's industrial landscape. Today, Zonguldak remains an important coal mining center, and the legacy of its mining history continues to be celebrated as a significant part of Turkey's industrial heritage.
