EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, published in the Spanish magazine "Nuevo Mundo" in December 1919, captures a pivotal moment during the tramway workers' strike in Madrid, Spain. The photograph, taken in 1919, depicts a chaotic scene as Civil Guards charge towards a group of strikers, attempting to halt a tram car from moving. The determination in the guards' expressions contrasts sharply with the desperation and defiance in the faces of the strikers, who are determined to make their voices heard. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the labor unrest and social upheaval that gripped Madrid during this period. The black-and-white photograph, with its horizontal composition, emphasizes the sense of tension and conflict, and invites the viewer to reflect on the broader political and social context of the time. The image was published in "Nuevo Mundo," a popular Spanish magazine, and provides a unique glimpse into the historical record of this significant moment in Madrid's history.
