The Sweating System - A Glimpse into the Harsh Realities of Industrial Labor
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by William Douglas Almond in 1888, offers a poignant visual commentary on the notorious "Sweating System" prevalent during the Victorian era. The image depicts a bustling workshop where various professions coexist under one roof. In this intricate scene, we witness skilled artisans diligently engaged in their respective trades. On one side, shoe makers meticulously craft footwear with polished soles and bristles while seated on footstools made by others nearby. The air is thick with flour as workers construct stuffed footstools and veneered hairbrushes. In another corner, individuals laboriously assemble matchboxes and cut materials for gross deliveries. The artist's attention to detail allows us to observe every aspect of this system's operation - from the delivery of raw materials to the final product fitting onto customers' feet. Each worker plays an essential role within this complex network, earning meager wages that barely sustain them through each grueling week. Almond's brush drawing technique brings life to these scenes of arduous labor while simultaneously highlighting the stark contrast between different social classes. From low-paid shoemakers earning twopence per pair to those creating chintz-covered footstools fetching ninepence apiece - economic disparity is evident throughout. Through this thought-provoking print, Almond sheds light on an exploitative system that thrived at the expense of hardworking individuals trapped
