Autorenporträt
Isabel Alexander (1910-1996) was a British artist and illustrator whose work encompassed drawing, water colour, oils, lithography, lino-printing, and three-dimensional work, and whose output ranged from socially-engaged documentation of the lives and work of Welsh coalminers, Irish fishermen, and English farmworkers through book illustration to landscapes, seascapes, and abstracts. Bertie Louis Coombes, or B. L. Coombes (1893-1974), was a Welsh coalminer, notable for his autobiography These Poor Hands: The Autobiography of a Miner in South Wales (1939), which became an instant bestseller. He also produced short stories, dramas, and other autobiographical works about the lives of coalminers and the communities in which they lived. Peter Wakelin is a writer and curator. He was formerly Secretary of the Royal Commission on the Ancient & Historical Monuments of Wales and Director of Collections & Research at National Museum Wales. He has recently curated work for the National Eisteddfod.
