Miners got the fine illustration treatment on the inside of the 1905 Levi Strauss & Co catalog. Note the similarity between the drawing of the miner and the cover of the August 11, 1900, issue of Mining and Scientific Press. Miners and men in associated industries were likely very familiar with this photo and since they were wearing Levi’s riveted overalls LS&CO felt it would be useful to create an illustration that would both advertise the products and make a connection to these consumers via an image that was also not copyrighted.

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.
From London England, relocated to Portland Oregon.
