EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. The image showcases a National Guard battery near Plymouth, Pennsylvania, during this pivotal labor movement. The scene depicts guardsmen gathered around their campfire, with tents and cannons visible in the background. The engraving, originally featured in a contemporary American newspaper, provides us with a glimpse into the late 19th-century North. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by workers during this time and highlights the power dynamics between laborers and corporations. The men portrayed in this image represent not only soldiers but also symbols of resistance against unfair working conditions. Their presence signifies an attempt to maintain order amidst widespread strikes that swept across multiple states during this tumultuous period. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical artifact for modern audiences to reflect upon. As we observe this print today, we are reminded of the importance of collective action and social movements that have shaped our society over time.
