EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster, titled "Colliers," was created by American artist Edward Penfield in the early 1900s for Harper Publications in New York. The image showcases four hardworking men in mining attire, each holding essential tools for their occupation. The coal miner in the foreground proudly displays his pickaxe and lamp, while the others carry a toolbox and a lantern. The men are depicted in a strong and determined pose, highlighting the physical demands and collective spirit of the labor force during the industrial era in the United States. The vibrant colors and intricate lettering in this lithograph add to its visual appeal, making it a striking representation of the period. The poster's text, "Harper's Weekly," is prominently displayed at the bottom, indicating that it was originally intended for use as a promotional piece for the magazine. The image is part of the Wallach Division Picture Collection at the New York Public Library, showcasing the rich heritage of American illustration and graphic design from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The "Colliers" poster is a testament to the working class and their labor during a time when the mining industry played a significant role in the country's economic growth. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of workers' rights and the role of publications in shaping public opinion and awareness during this era.
