The Result of Striking - The Workhouse - A Scathing Satire on Poverty and Social Issues in 1861 London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This thought-provoking cartoon from Punch, London, created by the talented John Tenniel in 1861, captures the harsh reality faced by the impoverished during a time of striking. Depicting a building exterior with two individuals standing outside, it serves as a powerful commentary on the consequences of industrial strikes. In this vertical illustration, we witness an outdoor scene set against the backdrop of bustling London. Two figures are portrayed; one is begging for assistance while another stands tall in despair. The artist's skillful use of Western script emphasizes their plight and draws attention to the social issues prevalent at that time. Tenniel's satirical drawing highlights a workhouse—a symbol synonymous with poverty and destitution—where those affected by strikes were forced to seek refuge.
