EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history - the resumption of work by dockers at London Bridge on 15th May 1926, following the settlement of the 1926 General Strike. The image shows a group of male workers laboring under the watchful eye of a towering crane, as they load barrels and sacks onto ships bound for Europe.
The scene is filled with a sense of industry and determination, as these men return to their occupations after a period of crisis and uncertainty. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes the gravity of the situation, highlighting the importance of labor and finance in this pivotal moment in England's history.
As we gaze upon this archival photograph by E. Bacon, we are transported back to a time when industrial action was at its peak, yet ultimately resolved through negotiation and compromise. The details captured in this image - from the oil drums being hoisted onto ships to the bustling activity on London Bridge - serve as a reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by these dock workers during challenging times.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past, showcasing not only the struggles faced by workers but also their ability to come together for a common cause. It is a testament to human perseverance and solidarity in the face of adversity.
