EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Railway Strike in Scotland, Police and Military at the Railway Bridge, Motherwell" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the intensity of civil unrest during a railway strike. The scene unfolds on a railway bridge located in Motherwell, Scotland. The image showcases the clash between police forces and military personnel as they confront striking workers demanding better working conditions and fair treatment within the railways industry. The tension is palpable as both sides stand their ground amidst billowing smoke from nearby factories. This powerful illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on January 17th, 1891. It serves as a visual testament to the struggles faced by laborers during that era of industrialization. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the social upheaval caused by industrial action and witness how authorities responded with force to maintain order. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history and appreciate the sacrifices made by those who fought for workers' rights. It reminds us of how far we have come while urging us not to forget these pivotal moments that shaped our society's progress towards more equitable conditions for all individuals involved in industries like railways.
