Description
Photograph of a miner navigating rocks, [s.d.]. Just to the right of center, a man in miner's clothes reaches over a ridge. The man can be seen wearing a round hat with a small light attached to the front. Large, jutting rocks surround the miner on all sides. Behind him, a narrowed-out tunnel suggests a mine shaft.
