EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Solidarity of Labour: Labours May Day" takes us back to the year 1890, where artist Walter Crane skillfully crafted an allegory painting dedicated to the workers of the world. The scene depicts a night-time celebration, with a full moon shining brightly in the sky above a diverse group of men and women. Holding hands in unity, they stand together on a globe symbolizing global cooperation. The medium group of people is portrayed engaging in various labor activities, such as wielding pickaxes and shovels, representing their dedication and hard work. The illustration technique employed by Crane brings life to this historical moment, capturing both the spirit of camaraderie amongst workers and the significance of Labor's May Day. As we gaze upon this powerful image from our past, it serves as a reminder that solidarity among laborers has always been vital for progress. It reminds us that throughout history, individuals have come together under one common cause - fighting for fair working conditions and rights. This print encapsulates not only an important chapter in our collective history but also highlights how much further we still need to go towards achieving true equality for all workers worldwide. Let it inspire us to continue striving for justice and unity within our own communities today.
