EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around the turn of the twentieth century in Ashtabula, Ohio, USA, showcases the raw power and industry of America's coal mining era. The image, created by an unknown photographer, depicts a coal dumping machine in action at a dockside facility. Men in work clothes stand nearby, observing as coal is unloaded from a ship and dumped into a waiting wagon or cart. The coal, once dumped, is then transported away, likely to be used as fuel for steam engines or industrial processes. The scene is set against the backdrop of a river, with a slag heap and smoke rising in the distance, evidence of the pollution and waste generated by the coal industry. The coal dumping machine, a testament to the technological advancements of the time, is a massive contraption, dwarfing the figures of the men around it. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human impact on the environment and the industrial revolution that transformed the United States. The image, captured on a dry plate glass negative, measures 8 x 10 inches and is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the past and the heritage of America's industrial history.
