EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the coal riots in Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA. The image depicts a meeting of labourers near the Dodge Shaft at Hyde Park, where they were viciously attacked and dispersed by immigrant Welsh miners and their wives on May 9, 1871. This powerful scene was brought to life through the skilled work of Joseph Becker, as featured in Frank Leslies illustrated newspaper. The intensity of this historical event is palpable as we witness the clash between striking labourers and the determined Welsh miners defending their interests. Civil unrest permeates every inch of this engraving, showcasing the raw emotions and tensions that defined this era. As we delve into this archival gem from Ken Welsh's collection, we are transported back to a time when coal mining played an integral role in shaping American society. The struggles faced by these laborers resonate deeply with us today as we reflect on our own fight for workers' rights. With its vintage charm and rich historical significance, this picture serves as a poignant reminder of America's industrial past. It stands as a testament to the resilience and determination displayed by those who fought for better working conditions during one of America's most turbulent periods - the late 19th century labor wars.
