Luddites smash weaving machinery
Luddites smash weaving machinery in a Nottingham textile factory. The Luddites were a movement of radical group of English textile workers and weavers in the early 19th century who destroyed weaving machinery as a form of protest. The group was protesting the use of machinery in a " fraudulent and deceitful manner" to get around standard labour practices. The group feared time spent learning the skills of their craft would go to waste as machines would replace their role in the industry. in more recent times, the term Neo-Luddism has emerged to describe opposition to many forms of technology. Date: circa 1812

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity of the Luddite uprising in Nottingham during the early 19th century. The Luddites, a radical group of English textile workers and weavers, are depicted here in the act of destroying weaving machinery in a local textile factory. The use of machinery in the textile industry was a source of great concern for the Luddites, who believed it was being implemented in a "fraudulent and deceitful manner" to circumvent standard labor practices. Fearful that their skills and livelihoods would be rendered obsolete, the Luddites saw no other recourse but to destroy the machines that threatened their way of life. The 1810s were a period of significant industrial unrest in England, with the Luddites representing one of the most vocal and determined reactions against the encroachment of machinery into the textile industry. This image, dating from circa 1812, is a powerful reminder of the social and economic concerns that drove the Luddite movement. The term "Neo-Luddism" has since emerged to describe opposition to various forms of technology, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Luddites and their profound impact on the historical narrative of industrialization. This image is a gravuremontage, a printing process that combines multiple plates to create a single, detailed image. The intricate details of the Luddites and the machinery they are destroying are testament to the skill and artistry of the engravers and printers of the time.
