EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts Colonel John Ward MP, a prominent figure in the British trade union movement during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. John Ward (1841-1915) was a soldier turned politician and trade unionist, who dedicated his life to improving the working conditions and wages of the working class. Born in Leeds, England, Ward rose through the ranks of the British Army, eventually becoming a colonel. However, his experiences with the harsh realities of military life led him to become an advocate for labor rights. In 1874, he was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Leeds East, representing the Liberal Party. Ward's political career was marked by his unwavering commitment to workers' rights. He was a key figure in the formation of the Labour Representation Committee, which later became the Labour Party. Ward's efforts led to the passage of several significant labor laws, including the Trade Union Act of 1871, which granted trade unions the right to exist and negotiate collectively with employers. This lantern slide captures the essence of a pivotal moment in British history, as the labor movement began to gain momentum and shape the political landscape. The image of Colonel John Ward MP, dressed in his military uniform, serves as a reminder of the intersection between the military and labor worlds, and the role that individuals can play in bringing about social change. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this lantern slide is sourced, is an invaluable resource for scholars and historians studying the social and political history of Britain during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This particular image offers a unique glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated his life to improving the lives of the working class, and the broader context of the labor movement in Britain during this period.
