EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a pivotal moment in British history - the General Strike of 1926. Titled "The Lever Brakes," this cartoon depicts the Trades Union Congress attempting, unsuccessfully, to use the strike as leverage to topple the government. The image is filled with symbolism, as a giant lever breaks under the pressure of trying to bring about change.
The General Strike of 1926 was a significant event that saw millions of workers across various industries walk out in support of coal miners who were facing wage cuts and longer working hours. Despite their efforts, the strike ultimately failed to achieve its goals and ended after just nine days.
In this cartoon from May 1926, we see a powerful visual representation of the struggles faced by those involved in the strike. The use of humor and satire adds an interesting dimension to this historical moment, highlighting both the determination and limitations of those fighting for better working conditions.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not only an important event in British history but also provided us with a thought-provoking image that continues to resonate today. This print serves as a reminder of the power dynamics at play during times of social unrest and political upheaval.
