The coal mining photographs of C. William Horrell, taken across the southern Illinois Coal Belt over a twenty-year period from 1966 to 1986, are extraordinary examples of documentary photography-so stark and striking that captions seem superfluous. Horrell's photographs, reproduced in fine duotone lithography, capture the varied phenomena of twentieth-century coal mining technology.
