EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. The image showcases the National Guard camp of the Sixth Regiment near Scranton, Pennsylvania during this tumultuous period. In this engraving from a contemporary American newspaper, we witness the daily life of guardsmen as they gather around a campfire, their uniforms proudly displaying their affiliation. The scene depicts men who were part of an important labor movement that aimed to address grievances within the railroad industry. As tensions rose and strikes spread across the nation's railways, these soldiers stood as protectors and enforcers of order amidst chaos. The late 19th century setting is brought to life through intricate details captured by Granger Art on Demand. The tented encampment against a backdrop of North Pennsylvania portrays both resilience and determination in the face of adversity. This historical photograph serves as a reminder of how ordinary individuals can come together to challenge injustice and fight for better working conditions. It symbolizes not only an era but also represents countless stories that shaped America's labor movement. Granger NYC / The Granger Collection has once again provided us with an invaluable glimpse into our past, preserving moments like these for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
