EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "KOELHER: STRIKE, 1886. The Strike" captures a poignant moment in American history during the late 19th century. This line engraving, created in 1886 by Robert Koehler after his own painting from the same year, depicts the harsh realities of poverty and labor struggles that plagued many working-class families. In this powerful image, we see a young girl standing amidst a group of factory workers, her face etched with weariness beyond her years. Smoke billows from nearby chimneys as men and women toil away in an industrial landscape dominated by towering factories and machinery. The river flowing behind them symbolizes both the lifeblood of industry and the hardships faced by those who rely on it for their livelihoods. Koehler's portrayal highlights not only the physical toll of labor but also its emotional impact on individuals and families. A mother can be seen clutching her child tightly, perhaps seeking solace amidst challenging circumstances. This artwork serves as a stark reminder of America's Gilded Age—a time when immense wealth coexisted with widespread poverty—and sheds light on the social inequalities that persisted during this era. Through his meticulous engravings, Koehler invites viewers to contemplate the human cost behind progress and prompts us to question our responsibility towards those less fortunate. Granger Art on Demand presents this piece as part of their collection, offering us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history while acknowledging the resilience and strength displayed by ordinary people during
