EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the haunting aftermath of a worked-out coal mine near Pursglove Mine No. 4 camp in Scotts Run, West Virginia. Taken in March 1937 by Lewis Hine, an American photographer known for using his camera as a tool for social reform, this scene depicts the stark reality faced by many communities during the Great Depression. The image showcases a typical sight of abandoned mines that have been left to decay in this once-thriving community. The devastating impact of mining operations is evident through the lifeless trees surrounding the area, their demise attributed to the harsh effects of these activities. In addition to nature's casualties, scattered mine cars bear witness to human abandonment and neglect. These once-indispensable tools now stand exposed and vulnerable to the elements, symbolizing not only economic decline but also societal disregard. Hine's photograph serves as a poignant reminder of America's troubled past and highlights the urgent need for social change during that era. Through his lens, he shed light on issues such as labor exploitation and environmental degradation caused by industrial practices. As we reflect on this image from history, it prompts us to consider how far we have come in terms of workers' rights and environmental preservation. It also compels us to continue striving for progress so that no community is left behind or forgotten like those captured within Hine's evocative photographs.
