EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from February 1970 takes us back to the era of coal mining, where safety was paramount. In this snapshot, we witness a member of the mines rescue squad named James Reynolds, aged 36, holding a canary in his hands. The canaries were used on rare occasions as an early warning system for carbon monoxide detection. The significance of this image lies in the fact that these small birds played a crucial role in protecting miners' lives underground. Should toxic gases like carbon monoxide be present, it would affect the canary first due to their high sensitivity. However, thanks to quick thinking and preparedness by rescuers like James Reynolds, if any bird became affected by carbon monoxide exposure, they could be instantly revived with oxygen. This picture serves as a reminder of the risks faced by coal miners during those times and highlights their commitment to ensuring each other's safety deep within the earth's belly. It also showcases how animals were not only companions but vital tools in dangerous working environments. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured by Mirrorpix for Memory Lane Prints, let us appreciate those who dedicated their lives to extracting coal while valuing human life above all else – even that of our feathered friends.
