EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1886 showcases the emblem of the International Longshoremens Association, a powerful symbol of unity and strength. The print features an array of iconic American imagery that encapsulates the spirit of this influential union. At its center, we see a firm handshake between two workers, representing solidarity and camaraderie among dockers. A Bible rests beside them, symbolizing faith and moral values that guide their work. Behind them looms a majestic ship, embodying the maritime industry's significance to trade and prosperity. Surrounding these central elements are additional symbols of American pride: George Washington's portrait reminds us of our nation's founding principles; an eagle soars above it all, representing freedom and ambition; while the American flag waves proudly in the background as a testament to patriotism. The inclusion of these diverse elements underscores both the historical context and aspirations behind this association. By uniting under one motto - "worker" - they strive for fair labor practices and improved working conditions for all members. This remarkable print serves as a reminder not only of America's rich industrial heritage but also highlights how collective action can bring about positive change in society. It is a timeless tribute to those who have dedicated themselves to honest work while advocating for their rights within this vital sector.
