The Duke of Sutherland's new Florence Colliery in Staffordshire stands as a testament to the importance of coal as a vital resource during this era. This print offers a glimpse into the heart of industrialization and highlights the significant role played by these mines in powering Britain's progress. The intricate details captured by the English School artist transport us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the labor-intensive process involved in extracting coal from deep within the earth. From men wielding pickaxes to carts filled with freshly mined coal ready for transportation, every element depicted here speaks volumes about both human resilience and technological advancement.
