This print from 1872, titled "Strikers for an eight-hour day threatening non-striking workers on a New York City construction site" captures the intensity and tension of the labor movement in late 19th century America. The color engraving showcases a significant moment in history when workers fought for fair working conditions and better rights. In this scene, set against the backdrop of bustling Manhattan streets, we witness a group of strikers passionately advocating for their cause. These brave men are seen confronting non-striking workers, emphasizing their demand for an eight-hour workday. Their determination is palpable as they stand united to challenge unfair labor practices. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by the working class during this era. It highlights not only their fight against oppressive working hours but also their unity in standing up against exploitation.
