Welsh collier family in their cottage 1873

This shows the living conditions of Welsh colliers during the strike in South Wales. The interior of the cottage appears to be one room which is crowded with a woman doing the laundry, another sitting with two children and a small animal (dog or a cat), as well as a man standing with his colliery implement. Presiding over all this is a dejected looking bird in a cage
