This striking print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Great Transport Strike of 1912 in England. The image shows a long line of strike-breaking meat vans making their way to Smithfield, accompanied by a police escort. The tension and conflict of the industrial action are palpable as the vans move through the crowded streets, symbolizing the struggle between labor and management.
