Christmas Bills, 1872
Christmas Bills, 1872. A husband and wife take very different views of the benefits of striking. There had been many strikes in London, and throughout England, during 1872. Amongst them were the Metropolitan Police, Londons gas-workers, the bakers and the carpenters. The armed forces, though, considered this mutiny - as did Punch. From Punch, or the London Charivari, December 14, 1872

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Christmas Bills, 1872" we witness a thought-provoking scene that encapsulates the contrasting perspectives of a husband and wife during a time of intense political unrest in London. The year 1872 was marked by numerous strikes across England, with various professions demanding better working conditions and fair treatment. The image portrays a domestic setting where the husband and wife engage in an animated discussion about these strikes. While the husband seems to be engrossed in reading the newspaper, his face reflects disapproval towards the ongoing industrial actions. On the other hand, his wife appears to be passionately advocating for the benefits of striking as she gestures emphatically. This powerful visual commentary not only highlights differing opinions within marriage but also symbolizes broader societal divisions regarding employment rights and social justice. Interestingly, even though many professions were participating in these strikes, they were viewed by some factions as acts of mutiny against established authority. Created by Charles Samuel Keene and published in Punch magazine on December 14th, 1872 - known for its satirical take on contemporary issues - this monochrome engraving captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance. As we delve into this heritage image partnership between Keene's creative mind and Unknown's craftsmanship behind printing it, we are reminded once again of how art can shed light on complex socio-political dynamics that shape our world throughout centuries past.
