EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured between 1910 and 1917 by Harris & Ewing, showcases a collection of 8 hour day signs that were popular during the early 20th century in the United States. The signs, which read "Eight Hour Day - Work; Sleep; Free Time; Nearer to Justice; Labor Center N.Y.C.", were a powerful symbol of the labor movement and the fight for fair working conditions and work-life balance. During this period, the 8-hour workday was a significant demand of the labor movement, which aimed to reduce the long working hours that were common at the time. The signs served as a reminder of the importance of rest, leisure, and a healthy work-life balance. The photograph, which is believed to have been taken in New York City, showcases a series of postage stamps that feature the 8 hour day concept. The stamps, which were likely used for communication purposes, further highlight the widespread influence of the 8 hour day movement during this time. The image, which is a glass negative, is a testament to the graphic design and communication skills of Harris & Ewing, who expertly captured the essence of the labor movement and the importance of fair working conditions. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, labor history, or photography, and is a reminder of the significant strides made towards improving working conditions and work-life balance in the United States.
