This image is public domain This is a film scan from a copy negative that is part of my historical archive of Utah and Colorado mining images. The boy worked the mines. Children were cheap labor in the mines. He never worked that pick drill and the pipe wasn't likely his either but the rest of his stuff was real. He spent ten hours a day in that get up with only the light from that tallow wick lamp. He cleaned and played the part of a canary (kids were easier to replace than good miners). He was probably Finnish or Swedish and indentured to the company for the purpose of paying his fathers debts to the company store. Thank God for UMWA. The unions fought hard and bloody battles to get these children out of the coal mines. This little guy worked (and likely died) in Utah or Colorado mines.

Tus padres suelen tener razón Ellos siempre han estado y están ahí.

Giulia Lama (active mainly first half of 18th century) was an Italian painter, active in Venice. Her dark, tense style contrasted with the dominant pastel colors of the late Baroque era. Biography Lama was born c. 1681 in the parish of Santa Maria Formosa in Venice. She was trained initially by her father, the painter Agostino Lama. She then studied alongside a childhood friend, Giambattista Piazzetta (1682-1754), the prominent rococo painter of various religious subjects and genre paintings.
