EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NAST: LABOR UNION, 1871. The Workingmans Mite" takes us back to the late 19th century America, offering a glimpse into the societal tensions surrounding trade unions and personal savings. Created by renowned cartoonist Thomas Nast in 1871, this engraving presents a thought-provoking critique of supporting labor unions versus investing in a savings account. The image portrays a working-class family standing outside an imposing bank building. A man holds up a sign that reads "Trade Union" while his wife cradles their baby in her arms. In front of them lies a basket filled with money labeled "The Workingmans Mite". This visual juxtaposition symbolizes the dilemma faced by many workers at the time - whether to contribute their hard-earned wages towards collective bargaining or prioritize individual financial security. Nast's artistic prowess shines through as he skillfully captures the nuances of class struggle within American society during this period. Through this powerful imagery, viewers are prompted to consider the implications of choosing between immediate support for labor movements or long-term economic stability. As we reflect on this historical piece, it serves as both an important reminder of our past and an invitation to engage in ongoing discussions about worker rights and financial planning today.
