The Coming of Labour: A Historical Illustration of the Growing Power and Momentum of the Labour Party following the Passing of the Franchise Bill in 1906 This powerful and evocative illustration, titled "The Coming of Labour," captures the political and social zeitgeist of the early 20th century in Britain. The image, created in 1906, alludes to the growing strength and influence of the Labour Party, as two stocky, chiselled-featured workmen stand before the hallowed halls of Westminster. Their determined expressions and robust postures suggest a sense of impending change, as if they are poised to storm the very heart of British politics. The Franchise Bill, which passed in 1906, expanded the voting rights of working-class men, giving them a greater voice in the political process. This historic legislation marked a significant turning point in British politics, as the Labour Party began to emerge as a major force in the political landscape. The illustration serves as a visual representation of the shifting balance of power, with the working classes no longer relegated to the sidelines but now taking center stage. The image also speaks to the broader themes of socialism and class struggle that were prevalent during this period. The Labour Party, founded in 1900, was committed to representing the interests of the working class and advocating for social and economic reforms. This illustration, with its powerful imagery and symbolism, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Labour Party and its role in shaping the political and social fabric of modern Britain.
