EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of industrious determination in the eyes of two young Gypsy boys as they meticulously craft coal mining pegs near Pontypool, South Wales, in 1915. The boys, identified as Jones and another unnamed child, are deeply focused on their work, their small, calloused hands expertly shaping the wooden pegs that would secure coal sacks in the back of wagons, enabling the safe transportation of the valuable resource from the colliery. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the historical class and industrial context of the time, as the Gypsy community, often marginalized and stigmatized, found opportunities in the coal mining industry to earn a living. The boys' attire, consisting of simple clothing and no shoes, reflects the harsh conditions they endured both at work and in their daily lives. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit, as these young boys, despite their circumstances, contribute to the coal mining industry that powered the South Wales region and the nation as a whole. The image also highlights the interconnectedness of various communities within the industrial landscape, as the Gypsies, like many others, sought opportunities for work and survival in the coal mining industry.
