This illustration of the Lattimer Colliery appeared in The Century magazine as part of a story about life in the Coal Region.
Lattimer was a focus of the story after a September 1897 labor massacre on the village’s outskirts made headlines across the world.
The illustration appeared with the following caption:
“A breaker at Lattimer – this is the breaker on which the striking miners were marching when they were fired upon by the sheriff’s deputies.”
