Striking a Pose - The Faces of Penn's Coal Miners
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photograph taken between c1910 and c1915 by George Grantham Bain, we see some of the 500 striking coal miners at Atlantic Camp in Pennsylvania. Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of industrial action, these men pause to pose for posterity - their faces a testament to resilience and determination.
Their direct gazes meet ours, conveying a sense of defiance as they stand united against the challenges posed by their employment. The black-and-white print captures not only their physical presence but also the emotional toll of being migrant workers in an era marked by industrial strife.
As we gaze upon these faces - weathered from years spent beneath ground and worn from struggles on the surface - we are reminded that even amidst adversity, there is a deep sense of community and solidarity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost behind America's coal mining industry during this pivotal period in history.
