EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. The image showcases the blockade of engines at Martinsburg, West Virginia on July 16th, 1877, marking the beginning of this significant labor movement. A contemporary American wood engraving has beautifully preserved this historic scene. Intriguingly, the photograph portrays a diverse group of individuals united by their shared struggle for workers' rights. Men and women from different walks of life come together to form a formidable force against injustice. Their determination is palpable as they stand defiantly on the railroad tracks, forming a human rampart against further exploitation. The presence of steam engines adds an element of power and symbolism to the image. These machines that once symbolized progress are now halted by those who operate them - workers demanding fair treatment and better working conditions. This snapshot encapsulates not only a specific moment but also represents larger themes such as class struggle and social activism during this era. It serves as a reminder that ordinary people can rise up against oppression when pushed too far. The Granger Collection's remarkable print allows us to witness firsthand this transformative event in our nation's history while honoring those brave activists who fought for justice on these very tracks in Martinsburg, West Virginia over a century ago.
