EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Strikes at the South Metropolitan Gas Company's Works, Vauxhall" takes us back to a significant moment in 19th-century London. The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the internal arrangements during the industrial action that occurred at the gas company's works. In this scene captured by Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we find ourselves in a dimly lit dining room where workers gather after a long day of charging retorts and laboring tirelessly. The atmosphere is tense as discussions about the ongoing strikes fill the air. Men can be seen engaged in conversations while others quietly contemplate their next move. Beyond this room lies more evidence of unrest - from washing areas to policemen's rooms and even a men's dormitory. These spaces serve as reminders of the hardships faced by those involved in industrial action during this time period. The image transports us to Vauxhall, where these historic events unfolded within the walls of South Metropolitan Gas Company's Works. It serves as both documentation and commentary on social issues prevalent during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, let us reflect on how far society has come since then while acknowledging that such struggles have played an integral role in shaping our world today.
