The miners of Pachuca, in the state of Hidalgo, played a crucial role in Mexico's mid-20th century history. The region was known for its rich mineral deposits, and the miners faced challenging working conditions. However, their tenacity and fight for labor rights made them a symbol of resilience. Moreover, the lime kilns in the area were iconic, and their operation was an integral part of the local economy. These aspects of life in Pachuca inspired artists from the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP), such as Raúl Anguiano, to depict in their works both the harsh reality of the miners and the industrial beauty of the region. Artistic representations of the miners and lime kilns not only documented history but also contributed to the social and political awareness of the time.
