Vintage WPA Pennsylvania Miner T Shirt

This dramatic working man's t shirt features an illustration from a WPA (Works Project Administration) poster to celebrate the mining heritage of Pennsylvania. The illustration shows a woodcut of the head and shoulders of a working Pennsylvania miner. He isn't young and looks worn down by working in the mines. The original illustration was created by artist Isadore Posoff in 1937 back in the days when Pennsylvania was the mining capital of America. In shades of blue and yellow, this hard working man has achieved iconic status. The original image is courtesy of The Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.
