Welsh Miners Morning Shift
At the crack of dawn, the miners are off to work. Amidst the grey and sepia toned landscape, we are drawn to their presence. George Poole himself a former miner, was all too familiar with this morning stroll and did not hesitate to illustrate aspects of this life. As the figures drift towards us, the neutrality in their expressions suggest a sense of action and urgency: they have prepared themselves for the day ahead.
