EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-000356-0000" transports us back to the early 20th century, specifically between 1920 and 1935. The image captures a powerful portrait of a group of miners, their rugged faces etched with determination and resilience. What makes this photograph truly remarkable is the presence of a woman among them, defying societal norms of the time. Dressed in oilcloth jackets and protective helmets, these brave individuals stand together in a semicircle around a wagon on tracks. The wagon itself is filled to the brim with minerals - tangible evidence of their tireless efforts deep within the earth's belly. A pick leans against it as if momentarily abandoned by its owner, while an old-fashioned lamp casts an eerie glow over the scene. Intriguingly, amidst this gritty industrial setting lies an unexpected touch of tenderness: a bunch of flowers carefully placed alongside the tools of labor. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst harsh conditions and physical exertion, beauty can still find its way into our lives. The front side of the wagon bears an inscription in French: '1. r Wagonnet Veine Italia, ' hinting at both international collaboration and perhaps even distant dreams beyond their current reality. Through Bonbled's lens, we are transported into this world where hard work intertwines with personal identity. This photo encapsulates not only the essence of manual labor but also speaks volumes about gender roles during that era. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, let us pay homage to these unsung heroes who dedicated their lives to extracting raw materials from beneath our feet – shaping industries and building nations along the way.
