EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in London's history - the March of London matchmakers protesting against the halfpenny tax on every box of matches in 1871. The wood engraving, created by an anonymous British School artist from the 19th century, showcases a powerful scene filled with determination and unity. In this image, men, women, and children can be seen marching together through the streets of London. They proudly hold banners high above their heads, demanding justice for their trade. The protesters are not deterred by their age or gender; they stand shoulder to shoulder as equals in their fight against unfair taxation. The faces captured in this photograph reflect both anger and hope. Policemen line the streets as silent observers of this peaceful demonstration. These brave matchmakers use their voices to challenge political decisions that directly impact their livelihoods. This historic moment serves as a reminder of how ordinary people can come together to bring about change. It sheds light on social issues prevalent during that time period while showcasing the resilience and strength of those who fought for what they believed was right.
