Bespoke Annotated Photograph Album Documenting the Lackawanna Coal and Lumber Company's Activities in the Early 20th Century

191513004Kanawha County WV 1915. 52 leaves with fifty-eight full-page professionally-produced sepia-toned photographs each with printed marginal captions and six informational plates most backed on linen. Oblong octavo 5 x 8 inches. Contemporary brown cloth. Front cover lacking spine and rear cover chipped and worn. Internally clean. Good condition. A fascinating annotated photograph album produced by the Lackawanna Coal and Lumber Company a prominent early-20th-century mining and lumber company highlighting its officers and the variety of its operations in West Virginia. The album begins with portraits of four of the company's mustachioed owners -- W.L. Connell J.K. Griffith Thomas J. Foster and William Griffith. The preponderance of the album focuses on the company's activities in various locations showing their Power House Coal Yard company store and more at Mucklow; large barge shipments on the Kanawha River; exterior scenes and shots inside the mine at Upper Town; the Power House and Tipple at Greenbrier; various scenes at Paint Creek including the Power House Tipple interior mine scenes including "Miners Working in Paint Creek Mine Using Electrically Driven Undercutter" their mule barn and Hickory Camp Power House; scenes around their Nuckolls Greencastle and Grosstown properties; scenes inside their Foster Mine; and much more. Other photographs picture the various trees the company turns into lumber some scenes around the company's Crescent Property lumber yard and a couple of their new sawmill. The album concludes with a half dozen informational plates akin to modern-day Power Point slides providing financial information on coal land values coal consumption coal production and details on anthracite and bituminous productivity. The album presents like a type of promotional brochure couching the Lackawanna Coal and Lumber Company as a vital and dynamic enterprise with numerous opportunities for potential investors. We could locate nothing like it in OCLC; the Hagley Museum holds a 1914 album of fifty photographs comprising an inspection trip to the Lackawanna Coal and Lumber Company and Highland Lumber Company which would be an excellent companion piece to the present album. unknown

Appalachian Coal Mining Photo Archive Includes Black Miners at Work in in Mining Shafts 1910-1920

1920224531920. Appalachian Coal Mining Operations; Photo Archive of Five Original Gelatin Silver Photographs ca. 1910s-1920s. Five gelatin silver prints measuring betweenand 8" x 9" to 5" x 7" Striking vernacular archive documenting early 20th-century industrial coal mining practices through four large-format photographs capturing both above- and below-ground operations. One image depicts a smelter or foundry worker tending molten material in a heavy industrial setting possibly related to coke production-a critical process in transforming coal into fuel for steelmaking. The worker wears a protective leather apron gloves and a helmet with face shield using a long paddle to manipulate the material. Industrial piping and steel platforms surround the workspace and a massive crucible or furnace stands nearby. Another photograph captures a dramatic underground mining scene. Two Black miners in heavy coats and headlamps drill upward into the cavern ceiling using a compressed-air jackleg drill. The low uneven rock walls exposed support timbers and scattered equipment emphasize the confined and hazardous conditions of subsurface labor. Coal dust visibly clings to their garments hinting at prolonged exposure to harsh particulate-laden environments common in deep mining shafts. One image centers on a large cylindrical steel structure-likely a pressure chamber or industrial boiler associated with coal-fired power or steam generation. The riveted iron shell and complex pipe fittings suggest this is part of an early steam engine or autoclave. Tools such as a coal shovel and rake lean nearby alongside a coal scuttle reinforcing the manual labor involved in operating and maintaining this machinery. Another photograph presents an expansive view of a coal rail yard in winter. A lone worker walks atop a line of boxcars amid snow-covered tracks while coal smoke rises from the buildings along the rail lines. The archive offer a vivid and textural record of early 20th-century coal mining labor and its related technologies. At this time coal mining was one of the deadliest occupations in the United States; between 1900 and 1930 tens of thousands of miners died in accidents or from occupational illnesses such as black lung disease. Light edge wear and surface handling; one image with silvering and faint creases. Well-preserved examples of early 20th-century industrial photography documenting coal mining infrastructure labor and technology during a critical era of American energy and industrial history. Minor edge wear and light creasing; one image with mild silvering; overall very good. unknown
