EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Belgian history - the workers' strike of 1886. The image depicts the intense scene of police loading riders in Carnieres, as documented by "Le Monde Illustre" newspaper on April 10th, 1886. Created by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, this engraving offers a glimpse into the violence and turmoil that unfolded during this labor movement. The black and white composition adds to the gravity of the situation, emphasizing both the stark contrast between light and shadow and the raw emotions displayed by those involved. The engraver's attention to detail highlights not only the physical struggle between workers and law enforcement but also their shared humanity. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of Belgium's rich past as well as its role in shaping European labor movements. It sheds light on an era when factory workers fought for their rights amidst challenging working conditions. Through this powerful image, we are transported back to a time when social unrest was captured through ink on paper, preserving these important moments for future generations. Stefano Bianchetti's preservation of this engraving allows us to reflect upon our collective history while contemplating how far we have come since then. It stands as a testament to human resilience and reminds us that progress is often born out of struggle.
