EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century in Wigan, England. It showcases a group of work girls at the Wigan Collieries, providing a rare glimpse into the coal industry during that era. The landscape surrounding them is dominated by pitheads and mining structures, symbolizing the industrial might of Victorian England. In this male-dominated profession, these brave women defied societal norms by working alongside their male counterparts in dangerous conditions underground. Their presence challenges traditional gender roles and highlights their resilience and determination. The image captures the stark contrast between social classes as well. The workers are dressed in rugged attire, covered in soot from their laborious tasks. This depiction serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by those belonging to the working class during this period. The engraving exudes a sense of pride and unity among these individuals who dedicated themselves to an arduous occupation vital for powering Britain's growth. It also pays homage to Greater Manchester's rich history as one of the country's prominent coalfields. Preserved through time thanks to The Print Collector, this photograph allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come in terms of gender equality and worker rights.
