Lansford Pennsylvania Makes the British Museum

For 33 years - I was a science teacher in Lansford Pennsylvania. I was able to see the old coal mine where my did worked from my classroom window. So you can imagine how excited I was to see this picture in an exhibit of American work at the British Museum. It could be my dad :-)

The print is called "Miner's Head" by Blanche Grambs. In 1927 - she spent time in Lansford (note the label says Lanceford) documenting the plight of the Anthracite coal miner. One can google her name on the Internet to see more of her works.
