EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cross-section of a coal mine, engraved by the talented Jules Ferat in 1889. The detailed colour lithograph depicts the inner workings of a coal mine with remarkable precision and artistry. As we delve into this underground world, we are greeted by a scene filled with intense labor and industry. A group of hardworking labourers can be seen toiling away, their muscles strained as they wield pickaxes and work diligently amidst the dark depths. The air is thick with dust and sweat, creating an atmosphere that feels almost hellish. The miners navigate through narrow tunnels, pushing wagons filled with coal along sturdy rails. Their safety is ensured by the dim light emanating from lamps attached to their helmets, illuminating their path through this treacherous terrain. Amidst this chaotic scene lies an unexpected sight - horses! These majestic animals play an integral role in transporting both workers and materials within the mine's confines. They trudge along dutifully, adding an element of wildlife amidst this industrial setting. This evocative image serves as a testament to the hardships endured by those who worked tirelessly beneath the earth's surface during times of rapid industrialization. It offers us a glimpse into their daily struggles while highlighting the importance of these unsung heroes in fueling progress above ground.
