The Dignity of Labour

A Polish Coal-Miner in Ceremonial Uniform

Those are real ostrich feathers.

Miners wear their uniforms for parades, special occasions, like this fair in Frombork, and when they go to Church in an official group.

Chimney-sweeps wear a top hat and a black suit, and police and firemen, too, have splendid ceremonial uniforms.

I'm all for the dignity of labour.

I'm thinking of designing a uniform for international bankers - something shapeless and made of sackcloth, printed with vomit and blood stains.
