Transcription
This is a glossy black and white landscape photographic print of a miner underground. Only the miner's head is seen in the dark with his headlamp shining, the rest is completely black space. This print was taken by photographer Ian Beesley and features in his book 'The Drift' on pg87. This indicates that the picture was taken at Hay Royds Colliery. The miner is named as Steve Fawkes.
