EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Queen Mary, the consort of King George V, pays a visit to the collieries of the northern region in England during June 1912. Accompanied by her husband, the monarch embarked on an extensive tour to assess the working conditions of the "brave workers of the mines," as the caption of the time described the coal miners. The image captures a moment of intimacy between the Queen and the miners as she steps out of her carriage, extending her hand to shake that of a miner in appreciation of their hard work. The miner, dressed in his traditional uniform, wears a look of respect and pride as he meets the royal hand. The modernity of the scene is evident in the background, with the carriage and the miner's helmet, both symbols of the industrial era, juxtaposed against the traditional attire of the Queen and the miners. The visit to the collieries was a significant gesture of solidarity and support from the monarchy towards the working class, highlighting the importance of the mining industry in the region and the recognition of the miners' contributions to the nation. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical connection between the monarchy and the working class, and the shared commitment towards the welfare and wellbeing of the people.
