Condition: Scattered handling marks and creases, wear and minor losses to corners and edges.
N.B. Inscribed on the verso "Pennsylvania Coal. A lonely job. Waiting in the dark for a trip to come through. It was so damp that Willie said that he had to go to the doctor for his cough. A short distance from here the gas was pouring into the mine so rapidly that it made a great torch when the foreman lit it. Willie is 13 years old and has been working here 4 months—500 feet from the shaft, and ¼ of a mile underground from there."
N.B. All proceeds support the mission and vision of the Couse-Sharp Historic Site – bringing the legacy of Taos art to life!Condition
