"Coal Heavers" is one of the vivid illustrations featured in "Costume of Great Britain," a seminal work published by William Miller in 1805. The book, authored by William Henry Pyne, is a comprehensive visual and descriptive record of the diverse attire worn by various classes and professions in early 19th-century Britain. Pyne, an accomplished artist and writer, meticulously documented the sartorial details of his subjects, providing a valuable historical resource that captures the essence of British social and occupational life during this period.

The illustration of "Coal Heavers" specifically portrays the labor-intensive occupation of individuals responsible for transporting coal, a crucial commodity during the Industrial Revolution. Coal heavers were typically depicted as robust and muscular men, often engaged in the physically demanding task of loading and unloading coal from ships, carts, and warehouses. Their attire, as illustrated by Pyne, is practical and rugged, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of their work environment. This often included coarse shirts, sturdy trousers, and heavy boots, with some variations depending on the season and specific duties.

Pyne's work is notable not only for its artistic merit but also for its ethnographic value. By capturing the everyday attire of coal heavers and other workers, "Costume of Great Britain" provides contemporary audiences with a window into the past, offering insights into the lives and labors of those who contributed to the nation's economic and industrial growth. The detailed illustrations and accompanying descriptions serve as a testament to the diverse and dynamic nature of British society at the turn of the 19th century, making "Coal Heavers" a significant entry in Pyne's celebrated collection.
