EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "United Mine Workers Certificate, 1890" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. The image showcases the tireless efforts of workers in the mining industry during the late 19th century. The scene is set deep underground, where men armed with pickaxes and shovels tirelessly extract coal from the earth's depths. A wagon stands ready to be loaded with this precious resource while horses patiently await their turn to transport it above ground. The air is filled with anticipation as workers prepare for a blast that will loosen more rock for extraction. Every detail in this engraving speaks volumes about the harsh realities faced by these brave individuals who risked their lives daily to fuel industrial progress. From tamping explosives into drilled holes to facing dangerous explosions head-on, these miners exemplify resilience and determination. Beyond its historical significance, this print also serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and animals. Horses play an integral role in supporting human endeavors even within such challenging environments. Preserved by the New-York Historical Society, this artwork offers us a glimpse into America's industrial past while honoring those whose labor laid the foundation for modern society. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an homage to those who dedicated their lives to shaping our world through hard work and sacrifice.
