Harry Sternberg: Coal and Steel
Mine Tunnel - Morning Shift, 1937
Drilling in a breast, 1936
Coal Miner and Family
In coal country, Sternberg took note of the worry etched into the faces of the women, and the gauntness of the children. He saw entire towns slipping down into collapsing mines that ran beneath the streets and remarked "It seems profoundly significant that the miners blasting out the supporting coal pillars underground, are often destroying the foundations of their own homes above them."
