Longshoremen's Strike - N.Y., between c1910 and c1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a pivotal moment in American labor history. Taken by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain, it depicts the Long Shoreman's strike that gripped New York City during the early 20th century. The image shows a group of dockworkers gathered outside a shopfront, their faces etched with determination and frustration as they demand better working conditions and fair wages.
The photograph is a powerful testament to the struggles faced by workers in America's industrial heartland. As tensions mounted between labor unions and employers, strikes became increasingly common, leading to widespread social unrest. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people fighting for their rights during this tumultuous period.
Bain News Service was renowned for its press photography, capturing the essence of major events in America's history. With his trusty camera and keen eye, Bain documented some of the most significant moments of his time, including labor disputes like this one. This photograph is a rare gem from Heritage Images' collection, offering a unique glimpse into an era marked by industrial action and social change.
