EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful Punch cartoon from 1890 sheds light on the profiteering of match production companies in Late Victorian Britain. The image captures the essence of the London match girls strike of 1888, where women and teenage girls working at the Bryant and May Factory in Bow, London stood up against unfair working conditions.
The cartoon serves as a critical commentary on the exploitation faced by workers in this industry during that time period. It highlights the struggles faced by laborers who were often subjected to long hours, low wages, and hazardous working environments.
Through this illustration, we are reminded of the importance of fair labor practices and worker rights. It serves as a poignant reminder of the need for social reform and justice in industrial settings.
The artist behind this piece skillfully conveys a message that resonates with viewers even today. The historical significance of this image is profound, capturing a moment in time when workers bravely fought for their rights amidst challenging circumstances.
