The book presents Sebastião Salgado's photographic documentation of manual labour across industries, capturing practices that span from the Stone Age through the Industrial Revolution to the present day. Its images offer an archaeological perspective on outmoded traditions, highlighting the dignity and fortitude of workers in some of the most demanding conditions. Featuring Salgado's signature black-and-white photography, the work serves as a visual elegy to human endurance and the physical nature of industrial-age labour.
