Although created several years after the end of World War I, this drawing shows that workers engaged in war production were as vulnerable to serious hazards and death as the soldiers at the front. The mine workers, with their bandaged arms, are set against the soot-lined streets of a town in the industrial Ruhr Valley. The work effectively demonstrates the cruelty and senselessness of the war as a society-wide phenomenon.
