The Strike, a Subject for the Consideration of the Real Working Man, 1859
The Strike, a Subject for the Consideration of the Real Working Man, 1859. Committee Man and General Talker says: What I say, my Boy, is-Hold out! Hold out-and we ll soon bring the Masters to their Senses!. Worker. Ah! Its all very well for You to hold out.... The different effects of industrial action on those leading strikes, and the workers actually striking, is clearly depicted in this cartoon. The florid, well-fed, committee man encourages the emaciated and shabby working-class man to stay firm and keep his resolve. The labourers family, sad, ill and dying in the background show clearly how even a short disruption in income for poorer families could precipitate them into destitution. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 5, 1859
