EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the momentous gathering of trade union leaders from around the world at the First International Labour Conference in London, 1896. The Industrial Revolution in the late 19th century brought about the emergence of organized labor in Great Britain, leading to the establishment of the Trades Union Congress in 1868. By the turn of the century, the labor movement had grown into an international force, with the need for a global platform to address the shared challenges and concerns of workers across borders. The manifest published at this conference marked a significant milestone in the history of labor rights. It advocated for the eight-hour workday, the abolition of child labor, and the establishment of minimum wages, among other demands. The image captures the spirit of solidarity and unity among the laborers, with workers from various industries and nations coming together to assert their collective voice and power. The print, engraved in color, offers a contemporary glimpse into the age of labor activism and socialist ideologies that shaped the modern labor movement. The workers, dressed in their work clothes and carrying tools, embody the grit and determination of the working class during this period. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of trade unions and their role in advocating for the rights and welfare of workers, both in Great Britain and internationally.
