EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joseph Arch, a prominent figure in English history. Born in 1826 and passing away in 1919, Arch was not only an agricultural worker but also a trade unionist and politician. As the founder of the National Union of Farm Labourers, he played a crucial role in advocating for the rights and fair treatment of workers within the farming industry. The image itself is a cartoon by Spy (Leslie Ward) from Vanity Fair London in 1886. This particular illustration was created to commemorate Arch's achievement of becoming a Liberal Member of Parliament for North West Norfolk during that year. The artist skillfully captures Arch's likeness while adding his own unique flair to create an engaging visual representation. Arch's dedication to improving working conditions for farm laborers made him highly respected among his peers and those he represented. His efforts paved the way for significant advancements within the agricultural sector, leaving a lasting impact on British society. This print serves as both an artistic piece and historical documentation, allowing us to appreciate Joseph Arch's contributions to trade unions and politics during this transformative period. It stands as a testament to his legacy as well as Leslie Ward's talent as an illustrator capturing important figures of their time.
