EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s in Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA, during the height of the coal mining industry. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to an era of hard labor and determination. A group of coal miners, dressed in heavy work clothes and protective gear, pose for the camera in front of a coal mine entrance. Each man holds a lantern, its flickering light casting long shadows on their weathered faces. The Victorian and Edwardian-era clothing and equipment add to the vintage feel of the image, with some miners wearing felt hats and others donning caps. The coal mine pit, a symbol of industry and progress, looms large in the background. The rough terrain and rocky outcroppings surrounding the mine entrance underscore the harsh conditions these men faced every day. Coal mining was a dangerous and physically demanding occupation, and the long hours spent underground took a toll on their health and wellbeing. Despite the challenges, these coal miners continued to toil in the mines, fueling the economic growth of Scranton and the United States as a whole. Their resilience and dedication are captured in this poignant photograph, a testament to the human spirit and the indomitable nature of the American workforce during the early 20th century.
