EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the essence of John Marchbank, a prominent British trade unionist in the early 20th century. With his distinguished mustache and intense gaze, Marchbank exudes strength and determination as Assistant General Secretary of the National Union of Railwaymen.
The image is a snapshot of history, taken from Trade Union Unity - a Monthly Magazine of International Trade Unionism in July 1925. It reflects an era when workers fought for their rights and stood together in solidarity to improve working conditions in industries such as railways.
Marchbank's portrait serves as a reminder of the important role that trade unions played in shaping labor rights and social justice movements during this time. His commitment to socialism and trade unionism is evident in his expression, embodying the spirit of collective action and advocacy for fair treatment of workers.
As we look back on this piece of history, we are reminded of the struggles faced by labor activists like John Marchbank who paved the way for better working conditions and protections for workers today. This print is not just a visual representation but also a powerful symbol of resilience, unity, and progress in the fight for worker's rights.
