From Booklist
C. William Horrell (1918-89) was widely recognized as an outstanding social-documentary photographer and taught at Southern Illinois University's Department of Cinema and Photography. His stomping grounds, the bottom portion of Illinois, is commonly known as Little Egypt--and is also known for its coal mines. That industry, particularly the men who toiled in it, held fascination for Horrell, and this album of his mine photographs, taken between 1966 and 1986, shows a Walker Evans-like sensitivity and artfulness in capturing ordinary folks wearing their problems and their individuality on their faces. In addition to the miners, Horrell trained his camera on mining equipment, which, of course, has grown in sophistication since the days of the pickax, and on the towns and houses miners lived in. Exceptional photography and social commentary that transcends regional interest. Brad Hooper
Product Review
“In cool documentary style, Horrell’s photographs detail the miners, the methods, and the artifacts of Illinois coal. From giant surface shovels to self propelled underground extractors, processing equipment, and abandoned mines, Horrell covered the coal fields.”—St. Louis Post Dispatch
