This is an amazing shot, Librarian. The original Rosie the Riveters? I love little Tinker Bell's prim and ladylike posture sat atop the cow-catcher. The lady on the left looks like she belongs on a labour movement mural.

Superb!
He's tucking in his jacket/blouse, despite the lower pockets. And he looks like Johnnie Rotten's dad. Brilliant stuff. Thanks, buler Edited by fender - 22 Mar 2018 at 1:15pm |

Nice one buler! those glasses could be eye-protection from welding flash or maybe dynamite blast or something...? he's got a thick welders type glove and some kind of lamp in his hand so id assume he can see.

I just know that the photo description said "blind miner". But that may have been an assumption based on the eyewear. I wish the photos had full, reliable descriptions and dates. B

^^^ Thanks for posting buler, nice to have some background to the photo. Interesting story, shame the guy never came up trumps.
He never gave up though. |
