Description: | Joseph Skipsey (1832-1903) was known as the 'Northern Collier Poet'. He was born in Tynemouth and worked in the coal pits from the age of seven. He had no formal schooling, and taught himself to read and write. His first volume of poems was published in 1859. His poetry describing his experiences working in the mine is his best work. The letter with this print is to the Pre-Raphaelite poet and artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who admired Skipsey's poems. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement work artists living in the North East art men coal mining | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
