EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "COAL MINER & MULE 1940" transports us back in time to the heart of Pennsylvania's coal mining industry during the Great Depression. The image captures a coal miner and his trusty mule near Penfield, their figures silhouetted against the rugged landscape. The miner stands tall, donning denim overalls and a protective helmet that speaks volumes about the dangerous nature of his work. His weathered face tells stories of resilience and determination amidst challenging times. Beside him stands his loyal companion - a mule, an indispensable partner in this arduous profession. Jack Delano's lens skillfully frames this poignant moment, highlighting not only the physical bond between man and animal but also shedding light on the vital role these miners played in fueling America's industrial growth. This photograph is a testament to their unwavering spirit as they toiled deep underground to extract coal for heating homes, powering factories, and driving progress forward. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the transformative impact of President Roosevelt's New Deal policies which sought to alleviate poverty through initiatives like Farm Security Administration (FSA). It is within this context that Delano captured this scene - showcasing both the harsh realities faced by working-class Americans while simultaneously celebrating their indomitable strength. "COAL MINER & MULE 1940" serves as an enduring tribute to those who labored tirelessly beneath North Pennsylvania's surface; it immortalizes
