Industrial photography,nowadays, is used advertising, public relations, publication in annual reports and may corporate usages and purposes. At the same time, theses images of past, old and current industrial installations have great historical value. Coal mining, production and actual usage, here in North America is diminishing as well, giving way to cleaner energy sources. Always interesting.
