1887 1888 Anthracite Child Labor Labor Union Meeting Mine Miner Mountain Pennsylvania Rogers Snow Striker Winter
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment during the Anthracite Strike of 1887-1888 in Pennsylvania. In the midst of a harsh winter, coal miners gather together on a snow-covered mountain to call for change and fight for their rights. The line engraving, created by W. A. Rogers and featured in an American newspaper from that era, beautifully depicts the determination and unity of these workers. The image showcases men of all ages, including young boys who were forced into labor at an early age. Their faces reveal exhaustion but also resilience as they huddle together to discuss their next steps. This meeting represents not only a gathering of striking miners but also symbolizes the birth of organized labor unions fighting against oppressive working conditions. The snowy landscape serves as a stark reminder of the hardships faced by these brave individuals while mining underground in treacherous conditions. It highlights their struggle against both nature's elements and exploitative practices within the industry. As we reflect on this historical event captured through Rogers' skilled engravings, it reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who fought for fair treatment and better lives for themselves and future generations. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is a testament to human resilience and our ongoing pursuit for social justice in the face of adversity.
