EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant and humorous litho print titled "I went on strike 30 years ago, and I ain't never give in yet" captures the essence of a bygone era. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the early 20th century, this postcard is a delightful blend of work ethic, criticism, and social commentary. Depicting a worker with his arms crossed defiantly, the image pokes fun at laziness while highlighting the resilience of those who have stood up for their rights. The clever play on words adds to its amusing appeal as it challenges societal norms surrounding labor and productivity. With its bold colors and comical undertones, this artwork offers both entertainment and insight into the industrial landscape of England during that time. It serves as a reminder that humor can be found even in serious subjects like strikes and workers' rights. While some may interpret this piece as a light-hearted joke or simply appreciate its artistic value, others may find deeper meaning within its layers. It sparks conversations about solidarity among workers, sympathy towards their cause, or even critiques excessive drinking habits prevalent in certain cultures. Regardless of interpretation, "I went on strike 30 years ago, and I ain't never give in yet" remains an intriguing representation of history through art. Its presence in private collections ensures that this postcard will continue to provoke thought and bring smiles to faces for generations to come.
