You are bidding on a large original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal. The quality of the printing from that era was exceptional.

 

The print depicts a group of colliery coal mining women from Lancaster England, who work as pit brows. On the back of the print is a 4-inch article that describes their work -- from wearing kulots or trousers, to doing the work of donkeys.

The page
is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 11 x 16 inches (28 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills the bottom half of the page. Below it is an unrelated picture of the opening of the "new" Whitechapel facilities of the London Hospital Medical College. The back of the page has a 6" article about the London Hospital Medical College, and a 4" article on the pit-brow women.

The page is in excellent condition for its age.
There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
