EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the reopening of Pleasley Colliery in Derbyshire, England, after the General Strike of 1926. The image, captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, transports us to a landscape dominated by towering chimneys billowing thick smoke into the sky. The industrial setting is starkly contrasted against the serene countryside backdrop. It serves as a reminder of the immense impact coal mining had on Europe's industrial revolution. The colliery stands proudly amidst its surroundings, symbolizing resilience and determination. The composition draws attention to the colossal machinery that was an integral part of this industry. A large box-like structure looms prominently in the foreground while workers can be seen going about their daily tasks with unwavering dedication.
