EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tense atmosphere during the Dundee riots in Scotland in 1911. The image shows a group of policemen, dressed in their uniforms and mounted on horses, escorting a cart filled with coal through a chaotic and angry crowd. The strikers, who were protesting against low wages and poor working conditions in the local jute mills and harbor, had gathered to prevent the delivery of coal to the docks. The situation had escalated into a violent riot, with the strikers clashing with the police. Four constables were reportedly injured during the melee, and the police were struggling to maintain control. The military were eventually called in to restore order, as the situation continued to deteriorate. The photograph provides a glimpse into the intense emotions and raw energy of the riots, with the smoke rising from the background and the determined expressions on the faces of both the policemen and the strikers. It is a powerful reminder of the social and political unrest that once gripped the city of Dundee and the wider Scottish community during this period. The photograph, taken from the Pete Frost Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique and poignant perspective on an important moment in Scottish history. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of those involved, as well as the complex and often volatile nature of labor disputes and social unrest.
