EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history during the General Strike of May 1926. Outside Prestonpans Colliery, East Lothian, a group of miners can be seen passing the time with a game of cards amidst their industrial action. The strike was a response to government plans that aimed to increase working hours and decrease wages for miners. During this tumultuous period, various key industries including public transport, building, and printing joined forces with the miners in solidarity. However, despite their united front, the strikes only lasted nine days from May 4th to May 12th. In an attempt to maintain essential services during this challenging time, members of the Armed Forces were drafted in to help. This image serves as a reminder of both the resilience and camaraderie displayed by these striking workers. The landscape format adds depth to this powerful scene while emphasizing the unity among these male strikers engaged in their card game. Preserved through time in stunning black and white tones by Central Press/Getty Images, this photograph provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter in labor history. As we reflect upon this historical event captured within this print from Fine Art Storehouse's collection, it is crucial not only to appreciate its artistic value but also recognize its significance as a testament to human perseverance against adversity.
