EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic strike by glassworkers at Carmaux, France in the 19th century. The engraving, created by French School artists, depicts a powerful moment of defiance and resistance against oppressive industrial relations. The image showcases Eugene Resseguier, owner of the Sainte-Clotilde glassworks, who imposed a lockout on his workers and brought in replacement labor from all over France. In this portrait-like scene, Resseguier's stern face with a distinguished beard symbolizes the embodiment of an uncompromising boss. The glassworkers' strike at Carmaux was marked by their unwavering determination to fight for their rights amidst difficult circumstances. Their trade unionism and collective action challenged the status quo within the industry. This visually striking artwork not only highlights the struggle between laborers and management but also serves as a testament to French culture during that era. It represents an important chapter in industrial history when workers stood up against exploitation and fought for better working conditions. Through this digitally cleaned image from Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre), we are transported back to that pivotal moment in time when ordinary individuals dared to challenge those in power. This print is a reminder of both the resilience of workers and their enduring legacy in shaping fairer labor practices worldwide.
