title: SULFUR MINES IN SICILY

subject date: 2021-06-06

caption: MINE Women employed in a mine in southern Italy to carry debris out of the tunnels. A little girl already assigned to the heavy task hides from the photographer under the overturned basket; the mother (or perhaps the elder sister) awaits her turn with the empty basket in her hand, leaving the rags padding positioned on the head clearly visible to better maintain the balance of the heavy burden on the head; at the entrance to the well, a miner fills the basket of a third woman. Photography, Sicily 1920s-1930s.
