Richmond Main Colliery - painting showing Edgeworth David & assistant

About the original

DescriptionThis painting was inspired by a photograph taken August 1886. It depicts Edgeworth David (sitting) and his assistant at the coffer dam around the prospecting shaft which was sunk into the coal seam, at Swamp Creek (Deep Creek), Abermain. This shaft proved the extent of the Greta Coal Measure
