EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On Strike" by Hubert von Herkomer depicts a powerful scene from history. The image showcases the harsh reality of industrial workers and their families during a time of social unrest. In this poignant illustration for Bibbys Annual in 1913, we witness the suffering and misery endured by those on strike. The composition captures an empty home with half-filled shelves, symbolizing the lack of nourishment and resources available to these striking workers and their loved ones. A pipe lies abandoned, representing the absence of work and income. The wife cradles her newborn baby, highlighting the vulnerability of innocent lives affected by this dire situation. Through this engraving, Herkomer skillfully conveys both criticism and action against societal injustices prevalent at that time. The starved expressions on the faces of these individuals reflect their hunger for justice and better working conditions. "On Strike" serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless men, women, and children who fought for fair treatment in industries across history. This thought-provoking artwork sheds light on the struggles faced by those who dared to stand up against exploitation. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece so that future generations can learn from our past mistakes while appreciating its artistic brilliance.
