EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the London dock labourers strike of 1889. The image showcases scenes from the strikers' procession, as they march through the streets of Victorian England, united in their fight for better working conditions. The protest was fueled by a desire to establish a minimum wage of 6d (2.5p) per hour, but unfortunately, their efforts were unsuccessful. Despite this outcome, the determination and resilience displayed by these men during this industrial action is truly inspiring. In this engraving brought to life by Ann Ronan Pictures, we witness the strength of social class unity as working-class dock workers take to the streets demanding fair treatment and improved employment opportunities. Their unified presence sends a powerful message that resonates even today. Each individual depicted represents not only themselves but also countless others who faced similar hardships during this era. This photograph serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by ordinary people striving for justice and equality in nineteenth-century Britain. As we observe these brave protesters marching together towards an uncertain future, it is impossible not to feel moved by their collective spirit and unwavering resolve. This image encapsulates both the challenges faced by those fighting for change and their unyielding determination to create a better world for themselves and future generations.
