EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. The image showcases scenes from the conflict between sympathizers with striking workers and the Fifth and Sixth Regiments Maryland Militia in Baltimore on July 20th. Published as the front page of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper on August 4th, 1877, this engraving provides a vivid depiction of the intensity and chaos that unfolded during this labor dispute. Intriguingly, the photograph reveals an arsenal attack by strikers against militia troops, highlighting their desperation for fair working conditions. The presence of soldiers armed with rifles adds to the tension portrayed in this historical snapshot. Amidst all this turmoil, one cannot help but notice a sense of sympathy towards these brave men fighting for their rights. The image also showcases other elements such as a sedan chair carrying what appears to be an injured or deceased individual, symbolizing the human cost of this struggle. It is evident that both sides were deeply entrenched in their beliefs and willing to fight for them. As we delve into this piece from Granger Art on Demand's collection, it serves as a reminder of how far labor unions have come in shaping worker's rights throughout history. This photograph encapsulates not only a significant event but also represents countless similar battles fought across America during its industrialization era.
