Braving the wind and muck of a rural English winter, an elderly man pushes his bicycle laden with coal through the muddy roads of Sutherland, England in 1968—his jaw set with quiet grit.
Photographed by war correspondent Don McCullin, this striking image highlights the daily burdens carried by working-class Britons long after the bombs of World War II had stopped falling, but the struggle for survival remained.
Did you know? Don McCullin (born 1935) is best known for documenting conflict zones, yet his haunting images of poverty and resilience across 20th-century Britain are considered just as powerful and enduring.
