^Lot 49 Mining Photographs

This lot is a page of seven vintage mining-related photos; matted and framed under glass. Three 4 1/2" x 6" photos show men at a mine. Four smaller images depict domestic scenes. The people are identified with Italian names, but the views look to be from the U.S. One of the mining photos is identified as "Il Patrone" (the master), who, along with several workers, is inspecting a shovel; another reads "capo della mina" (head of the mine). The third view shows a donkey pulling an ore cart out of a mine. The photos appear to date circa 1910. Some chipping at edges of photos and edge of page on which they are mounted. The images are clear and sharp. [GI-7]. Frame size is 21 1/4" x 16 1/2".
