EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history - the Great London Dockers Strike of 1889. In the midst of this labor dispute, a worker takes to the streets, placard in hand, representing an undernourished dockworker's child. The image is both poignant and thought-provoking. The worker's determination is palpable as he stands tall amidst his fellow strikers. His weathered face tells a story of struggle and hardship endured by many working-class families during this era. The daughter depicted on the placard serves as a stark reminder of the poverty and starvation faced by these dockworkers. The late Victorian setting adds another layer to this historical snapshot. It was a time when workers were fighting for their rights, demanding fair wages and better working conditions. This image encapsulates their collective voice against exploitation. Through this contemporary drawing turned photograph, we are transported back to that pivotal moment in London's history where men like this worker fought tirelessly for justice. Their actions paved the way for improved labor laws and social reforms that would benefit future generations. This print from Granger Art on Demand not only documents an important event but also serves as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity.
