Scope and content
Wilkeson Products. Interior and exterior of mine. A photographer from the Richards Studio, equipped with miner's helmet and coveralls, prepares to enter a Wilkeson coal mine in March, 1944, along with a female companion and a leather-jacketed man. The young woman appears to be carrying a flash while the other man lugs a metal suitcase probably containing more photographic equipment. Traces of snow linger on the mine's exterior, one of many that had been reopened since the advent of WWIl.
