I'd like to know the story behind this photo!

I found the description:

“Miners 850 feet deep in the Hubert Mine, Nevadaville, Colorado 1895.”

During its early years, Prince Albert and several other brands were multipurpose RYO and pipe tobacco.

It was the standard issue RYO tobacco on many Georgia chain gangs back in the day

That is George Adamson, his wife Joy wrote the Born Free series. He wrote an interesting autobio called 'My Pride and Joy'. He worked caring for lions in Kenya, and was killed by Somali bandits in 1989 at age 83. More info:

Quo on Goodreads tells how he, as a lad, visited George at his African camp: "being young & somewhat less than adequately fearful of the local warnings, a friend & myself would borrow a rattly antique Landrover from a mission station run by the Italian Consolata Fathers, stopping at the local Indian (Hindu) store in Meru to buy a bottle of White Horse scotch and we then had full admission to George's world for the weekend. Bringing some Three Nuns or other pipe tobacco also helped to seal the deal." Source:

Ah, memories of Africa. Once you get African dust on your toes, you cannot remove it.
