This black and white lithograph captures a Gilbertian strike scene outside the iconic Savoy Hotel in 1910. The image showcases the chaos and tension of a trade dispute, as workers guard and unload ice from a covered wagon filled with hotel supplies. A policeman stands nearby, keeping watch over the scene. The print by Richard Caton Woodville depicts a moment during a general strike, where trade union members protest for their rights. The engraving beautifully portrays the atmosphere of unrest and uncertainty that prevailed during this time. The composition is rich in detail, showcasing the intricate architecture of the Savoy Hotel in the background while focusing on the laborers at work. Their determination to protect their interests is evident as they stand united against any potential threats or attempts to disrupt their cause. This historical photograph offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of labor history, reminding us of past struggles for fair treatment and worker's rights. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within luxurious establishments like the Savoy Hotel, behind-the-scenes battles were fought to ensure justice for all employees. Displayed in black and white, this litho print evokes nostalgia while capturing an essential moment in time. Its presence invites viewers to reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that there is still progress to be made towards achieving equality in our modern society.
