EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the intensity of the London Dock Strike of 1911, as dockworkers fiercely attack a horse-drawn van attempting to pass through the blocked street. The van, laden with goods, is a symbol of the industrial supply chain that was disrupted by the striking dockers. Their determination to prevent the delivery of supplies was a significant tactic in their fight for better wages and working conditions. The horse, a common mode of transportation during this era, is also targeted, highlighting the all-encompassing nature of the strike. The scene unfolds on a bustling London street, adding to the chaos and urgency of the moment. The dockers' actions were not driven by any particular company, but rather by the collective frustration and resolve of the working class to demand change. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the labor disputes and social unrest that once shaped the city's history.
