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.
