A coal miner cleaning up after work with the help of his wife. Before the days of piped water and pit-head baths, after a day hewing coal underground the miner had only a tub on the living room floor filled with water from an outside pump to wash away the coal dust from his skin. Northumberland and Durham Coalfield, England. Engraving from 'The Graphic' (London, 18 February 1871).
