This evocative photograph, titled "Workman & Boss / Doffs Cap," captures a poignant moment in the annals of working-class history. Taken in 1882, the image depicts a humble workman, dressed in typical attire of the era, including a cap with a distinctive peak, strolling down a bustling city street with his wife. The atmosphere is filled with the omnipresent sounds and sights of industry, as chimneys belch out smoke into the sky, and the clamor of horse-drawn carts and factory machinery fills the air. Suddenly, the workman's attention is drawn to the approach of an elegant carriage, and he reverently touches the brim of his cap in deference to his employer as the vehicle passes by. The subtle power dynamic between the two social classes is palpable, as the workman, despite his hardships, maintains a respectful demeanor towards his superior. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical and political context of the late 19th century, a time when class distinctions were deeply entrenched in society.
