EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A miner crucified by his comrades" evokes a powerful narrative of violence, drink, and high spirits in early 20th century America. The colour litho artwork, created by the French School, showcases a shocking scene that took place after a drinking session at Avella, Pennsylvania. The image portrays the aftermath of carousing coal miners who have taken their revelry to an extreme level. In a disturbing act of punishment, one miner has been crucified by his own comrades. This visual representation highlights the dark side of camaraderie and the consequences that can arise from excessive drinking. Set against the backdrop of Pennsylvania's mining industry, this piece serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by American miners during this era. It sheds light on their dangerous working conditions and offers insight into how they coped with their challenging lives. The artist's attention to detail brings forth emotions ranging from shock to empathy for both the victim and his fellow miners. Through this illustration for Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre), published on May 8th, 1910, we are transported back in time to witness an unsettling moment in history. This thought-provoking print is part of a private collection and is made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its presence serves as a testament to humanity's capacity for both cruelty and resilience within industrialized societies like early 20th century America.
