EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WEST VIRGINIA: BAR, 1938" takes us back in time to Osage, West Virginia. The image beautifully captures a poignant moment in the lives of coal miners as they patiently wait for the bus home after a long day's work. Taken by Marion Post Wolcott in September 1938, this photograph offers a glimpse into the early days of mining in America. The composition is striking, with the group of men clad in their rugged overalls standing against a backdrop of railroad tracks. Their tired yet determined expressions tell stories of hard labor and resilience. One can almost feel their anticipation as they eagerly await transportation that will take them away from the depths of the coal mine to reunite with loved ones. Wolcott's skillful eye for detail brings out every line on these miners' faces and every crease on their worn-out clothing. This snapshot freezes a moment that represents an era when coal mining was not only an occupation but also an integral part of communities like Osage. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these brave individuals who toiled underground to power our nation's progress. It serves as both a tribute to their unwavering spirit and a reminder of how far we have come since those early days.
