EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Lancashire, England in the year 1848. The image captures a significant aspect of the coal mining industry during that era - young boys working as putters, moving coal in a narrow seam. The photograph is sourced from Matthias Dunn's renowned treatise on collieries, which sheds light on the winning and working of these extractive sites. It serves as a powerful reminder of the laborious conditions endured by children involved in this demanding industry. In this particular scene, we witness a boy diligently pushing coal along a cramped passage with sheer determination etched across his face. The narrow seam presents an arduous challenge for these young workers who play an integral role in fueling Lancashire's industrial growth. Matthias Dunn's treatise not only documents their crucial contribution but also highlights the pressing need for mechanization within this sector. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot frozen in time, it prompts us to reflect on how far our society has come since then. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us into history, allowing us to appreciate both the hardships faced by child laborers and the strides made towards progress within the mining industry. Let it serve as a testament to human resilience and remind us of our responsibility to protect future generations from such exploitation.
