Description
The Lackawanna Coal Mine is a museum and retired coal mine located in McDade Park in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
The Mule Boy 300 feet beneath the earth through an anthracite coal mine originally opened in 1860.
Coal mines or Coal Breakers of the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania could not fail to be forcibly impressed by the large number of boys, many of them of a very tender age of 12yrs old, employed in the collieries as drivers of mules and door tenders, and in the Screen room as slate pickers.

Such an interesting image - love how you captured the feeling of a "dark cavern" behind the Mule Boy, by framing him with all the lines converging behind him.
