EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment between A B Swales, a British trade unionist, and Mikhail Tomsky, a Soviet Russian trade unionist. The image was taken in Scarborough, Yorkshire in 1925 and is featured in the Trade Union Unity magazine from October of that year. The two men are seen shaking hands, symbolizing unity and solidarity between their respective countries.
Swales and Tomsky were key figures in the international labor movement during the early 20th century. Their meeting represents a bridge between British and Soviet Russian workers, highlighting the importance of cooperation across borders for the advancement of workers' rights.
The photo exudes a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect as these two leaders come together to discuss common goals and challenges faced by working people. It serves as a reminder of the power of solidarity in fighting for social justice and equality.
As we look back on this moment captured nearly a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of these trade unionists who worked tirelessly to improve conditions for workers around the world. Their commitment to unity serves as an inspiration for future generations striving towards a more just society.
