His helmet is adorned with a candle, providing him with much-needed light in the dark depths of the mine.
The image captures the harsh reality of life as a miner during this time period, showcasing the grueling labor and dangerous conditions they faced on a daily basis. The protective gear worn by the miner highlights the importance of safety measures in such hazardous environments.
