Bill Brandt



In the 1930s Bill Brandt visited the north of England. One image, showing a miner at his evening meal, aches with dignity and exhaustion. The miner, his face and fingers black with coaldust sits down to his tea, his wife looking on. Behind his shoulder is a sewing machine, carefully covered with a spotless lace doily. Above their heads clothes hang drying.
