EDITORS COMMENTS
KENTUCKY: COAL MINERS, 1935. A powerful glimpse into the lives of coal miners in Jenkins, Kentucky. This photograph by Ben Shahn transports us back to the early days of mining in America. The image captures a group of hardworking men taking a well-deserved break from their grueling work underground. The coal miners sit together on an exterior ledge, their faces marked with dirt and sweat, evidence of the demanding nature of their job. Each miner wears a headlamp, symbolizing both their reliance on this essential tool and the dangerous conditions they face daily. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a moment of respite as these men enjoy their lunch amidst the backdrop of Southeastern Kentucky's rugged landscape. Their camaraderie is evident as they share stories and laughter while refueling for what lies ahead. Photographer Ben Shahn masterfully captures not only the physical toll that mining takes on these individuals but also highlights their resilience and strength. Through his lens, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless miners who played a vital role in fueling America's growth during this era. This print from Granger Art on Demand serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's industrial history and honors those who toiled beneath the earth's surface to power our progress.
