EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the daily lives of the Girl Workers of London, specifically those employed in the Match-Box Making industry, in the late 1890s. The image, titled "Girl Workers of London - The Match-Box Makers, Taking the Boxes Home," depicts a young woman, likely in her late teens or early twenties, carrying a large stack of matchboxes on her back as she walks along a crowded London street. She is joined by another young woman, also burdened with a similar load, as they make their way home from their place of employment. The scene is one of hard work and determination, as these women navigate the uneven pavement and busy traffic with their precious cargo. The matchboxes, a common household item, were produced in large quantities during this period, and the demand for them was high. The Match-Box Making industry provided employment opportunities for many women and girls in London, offering them a source of income and a means to contribute to their families. Despite the long hours and physically demanding nature of the work, the women in this photograph appear focused and resilient. Their expressions suggest a sense of pride and accomplishment, as they make their way home after a long day. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these working women, highlighting their strength and determination in the face of adversity. The image is a poignant reminder of the important role that women played in the late Victorian economy, and the crucial contributions they made to their families and communities. The photograph, taken in 1898, is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the experiences of working women in London during this period.
