The Dockers Strike and Riots at Southampton
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithographic print by William Douglas Almond that captures the intensity and chaos of a significant historical event. This powerful image, part of the Private Collection, depicts the turbulent scene during The Illustrated London News on September 20,1890. The lithograph showcases street scenes filled with soldiers, dockworkers, and rioting civilians in Southampton. It portrays an atmosphere charged with tension as workers gather near the dock gate to voice their grievances against unfair labor practices. Mr. Sprow can be seen addressing his fellow dockers during a meeting while military personnel stand ready for any potential escalation. Almond's attention to detail brings this historic moment to life; every figure exudes determination or frustration amidst billowing smoke and crumbling architecture. Through intricate engraving techniques, he skillfully conveys the urgency and significance of industrial action taking place. This print serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by working-class individuals during this era—a testament to their resilience in fighting for better conditions. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection so that future generations can appreciate its historical value.
