A hand labeled as Death reaches out to seize a miner in this 1925 drawing, which accompanied reporting on an explosion at a coal mine in Sullivan, Indiana, that killed 51 men. Juanita Prevale made the drawing for *Workers Monthly*, a radical labor magazine of the period, and the record notes that it was printed in the magazine's issue. Such personified Death figures were a common tool of the labor press, which used them to argue that mine disasters were preventable and that owners and companies bore responsibility. The record's details are unverified, so readers researching the event should check them against contemporary newspaper accounts.
