説明 | This is my Father-in-Laws lantern that he used in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania. He was born in 1901 and died in 1989. He started picking slate when he was 10 years old and he had black lung disease for most of his life. This antique dates back to the 1920’s. As you can plainly see it still works well. He contributed most of his tools to the Greater Hazleton Historical Society and Museum, but my wife kept his lantern and miner’s safety helmet. This old style piece reminds me of Diogenes, the Greek Cynic philosopher. Tradition ascribes to him the famous search for an honest man conducted in broad daylight with a lighted lantern. He would have found such a man in my Father in Law deep in an Anthracite coal mine near Hazleton Pennsylvania, my home town.I felt that an object this old should probably be a black and white photo suited to the common technology of the times. |
