1877 Great Labor Lower East Side Meeting Police Rail Road Rally Strike Typeface Wall Spot Light Surveillance
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American labor history - the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. In this powerful image, railroad workers are seen gathering in Tompkins Square, New York City, to rally and show their support for the strike. The late evening setting adds an air of intensity and determination to the scene. As these hardworking men convene outside on the city streets, they are closely watched by a group of vigilant police officers. Their presence serves as a reminder that even peaceful demonstrations were met with surveillance during this tumultuous time. The wood engraving from a contemporary American newspaper beautifully portrays the gravity of the situation. The lower East Side location further emphasizes that this was not just any strike; it was one that resonated deeply within working-class communities across North America. The typeface used in the caption evokes nostalgia for an era when printed newspapers were at their prime. This remarkable photograph is part of Granger Art on Demand's collection, showcasing historical moments through art prints. It reminds us of our nation's rich labor heritage and honors those who fought tirelessly for fair working conditions over a century ago.
