EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the dangerous and gritty reality of coal mining in the early 20th century. The image depicts Grisou, a miner, deep within a coal mine, surrounded by darkness and danger. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, a testament to the hard work and harsh conditions he faces every day.
The chromo print brings to life the vibrant colors of Grisou's surroundings - from the rich black coal to the flickering flames of explosions that threaten his safety. Despite the risks involved, Grisou remains focused on his task at hand, determined to provide for himself and his family.
The intensity of this scene is palpable as we witness Grisou's escape attempt from a potentially deadly situation. The sense of urgency is heightened by the dynamic composition and bold use of color in this chromolithograph.
As we reflect on this powerful image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by miners like Grisou who risk their lives every day in pursuit of a livelihood. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those working in hazardous industries and pays tribute to their resilience and courage.
