EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Socialists, 1891" and created by William Strang in 1922, captures a powerful moment in history. In the image, a passionate speaker stands on a chair amidst a large crowd gathered at Gloucester Gate in Regents Park, London. The artist himself is depicted within the crowd, wearing a cap and positioned under the raised arm of the speaker. This clever inclusion identifies Strang as a member of the working class and emphasizes his solidarity with their cause. The scene portrayed here reflects an era marked by political fervor and social change. It showcases the spirit of socialism that was gaining momentum during this time period. As people listen intently to the politician's speech, one can sense their eagerness for progress and equality. Strang's etching not only captures this significant moment but also serves as an important historical document. It provides us with insight into British politics in both the late 19th century Victorian era and early 20th century twenties. Through this artwork, we are transported back to an atmosphere filled with hope for societal transformation. Preserved within Bibbys Annual 1922 edited by Joseph Bibby, this print offers us glimpses into literature from that time period as well. Its presence within these pages further highlights its significance as part of British cultural heritage. Overall, "Socialists" is more than just an artistic creation; it represents a pivotal chapter in British history where voices were raised for change and unity among working-class
