The Collieries Strike - A Glimpse into the Struggles of Coal Mining Communities
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Collieries Strike" offers a poignant depiction of the hardships faced by coal miners and their families during industrial action in the late 19th century. The engraving, created by William Heysham Overend and published in The Illustrated London News on November 18,1893, provides a window into an era marked by poverty and social unrest. In this evocative scene, we witness a family huddled together amidst the bleakness of their surroundings. With grim determination etched upon their faces, they dig deep into the earth's surface for meager scraps of coal to fuel their hearth. A loaf of bread sits prominently at the center – symbolizing both sustenance and scarcity. The image also captures another aspect of struggle as soup cans are scattered around them; these represent reliance on charitable aid during times of economic hardship. It is clear that this colliery strike has pushed these individuals to desperate measures just to survive. Through this powerful visual narrative, Bridgeman Images allows us to reflect upon the immense sacrifices made by those involved in mining communities during periods of labor unrest. This artwork serves as a reminder that behind every historical event lies real people with hopes, dreams, and families who bear the brunt when industries grind to a halt. "The Collieries Strike" invites us to empathize with these forgotten voices from our past while
