Capital Onlooker Rope Struggle Tug Of War Tugging Brawl Brawling Fighting Conflict

EDITORS COMMENTS
The struggle between Labour and Capital is vividly captured in this 19th-century cartoon, depicting the ongoing battle between workers and the ruling class. The image showcases a tug of war between two opposing forces, with labour on one end of the rope and capital on the other. The tension is palpable as both sides fiercely fight for control. This satirical drawing serves as a scathing commentary on the power dynamics at play during this era, highlighting the constant conflict and clash between those who toil for their livelihoods and those who profit from their labor. The illustration captures the essence of inequality and exploitation that defined much of industrial society during this time. As an onlooker observes from the sidelines, it becomes clear that this struggle is not just physical but also symbolic of larger societal issues. The black-and-white composition adds to the stark contrast between labourers and capitalists, emphasizing their opposing roles in shaping economic systems. Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring fight for justice and equality in a world where labour and capital continue to be at odds. It stands as a testament to the resilience of workers throughout history who have pushed back against oppressive forces in pursuit of fair treatment and rights.
