EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the legislative investigation of the Broadway Railway Franchise following the infamous 1886 streetcar strike. The engraving, created by an anonymous American artist in that same year, serves as a visual testimony to the labor movement's fight for fair treatment and improved working conditions. The image showcases a group of determined men gathered outside a legislative building in Northeast NYC. Among them are prominent figures such as Senator Roscoe Conkling, Jacob Seward, and Clarence Sharp - all key players who spearheaded this investigation into labor practices. Their presence symbolizes their commitment to addressing grievances faced by workers during this tumultuous period. With its intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into late 19th-century America. It transports us back to an era when issues surrounding labor legislation were at the forefront of public discourse. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Granger Art on Demand's collection, let us not forget the countless individuals who fought tirelessly for justice and equality within our society. This image stands as a reminder of how far we have come while urging us to continue striving towards creating better working conditions for all.
