Murrysville, Pennsylvania
Man has dug deep into the surface of the earth for centuries, seeking the precious, hidden treasures lying beneath the visible landscape. Compelling photographs taken by Lewis W. Hine during the early 1900’s of the young boys working in the coal mines as breakers and colliers inspired this piece. The working day for these boys was long, dangerous and dark; the only glimpse of daylight was typically during a brief lunch break before heading back down the shaft once again, into the darkness underground. For these boys, unless injured or killed in the mines, it was the beginning of a life’s work, into the depths of the earth beneath their feet.
