Josef Herman -聽Ystradgynlais

Herman鈥檚 drawings and watercolours shown here are of the Welsh mining village of Ystradgynlais dating from 1944-1955. The watercolours especially emphasise what the living and working conditions were like for these people with the coal tips ever present towering over the聽village.
