Art of Mining
Thomas Harrison Hair (1810-1875) made paintings of the coal mines of North-East England in preparation for his book of etchings: Views of the Collieries in the Counties of Northumberland and Durham, 1844. The book became well known, but the watercolours have rarely been reproduced. These delicate and evocative colour images of the Great Northern Coalfield vividly capture the scenes that the artist witnessed on his travels through the mining communities of the North-East.
Miner-artists
An appraisal of the significance of the artistic work of Welsh miners Cyril Ifold, George Brinley Evans, Elwyn Charles Chesterfield, Keith Jenkins, Nicholas Evans, John Davies, Illtyd David, Robert Morgan and Wynford Vaughan Thomas as a perceptive pictorial document of the conditions and concepts of the working- class. 26 colour and 40 black-and-white illustrations.
Mining Couture
This title is the result of a collaborative social art project by artist Barber Swindells exploring the relationship between coal mining and fashion. The book delves into the notion of 'common wear', records diverse narratives of fashion and labour, and focuses on the social context where the realms of mining and fashion converge.
