The Great Dock Strikes - A Historic Moment of Conciliation and Unity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant event in the history of labor rights - "The Great Dock Strikes". The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, depicts a conciliation conference held at London's Mansion House. Published in The Graphic on September 14,1889, this image showcases the gathering of influential figures who played pivotal roles during these strikes. In this powerful scene, we witness Lord Mayors alongside prominent individuals such as John Lubock, Cardinal Manning, John Burns, Sidney Buxton, W. J. Soulsby, Ben Tillett and others. They come together to discuss and negotiate amidst a backdrop of bustling docks and busy pontoons. The image beautifully portrays the significance of unity and collaboration during times of social unrest. It highlights the importance of dialogue between workers' representatives and those with authority over London's ports. These discussions aimed to address grievances related to working conditions and fair treatment within the dock industry. As we delve into this historic moment through Bridgeman Images' remarkable print from their Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where collective action paved the way for positive change. This visual representation serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, progress can be achieved when people unite under a common cause.
