Paintings, Prints & Drawings — 1834
The Union Picture Gallery. No.2.
Broadside headed The Union Picture Gallery, No 2' with the subtitle 'The Tailor's Campaign' with reference to the tailor's strike of 1834. The text is illustrated by an engraving depicting the masters and the tailors lined up for battle, the tailors carrying giant scissors. Below is printed a dialogue between Master and Man together with the verses of a ballad or popular song entitled 'The Strike of the Journeymen Tailors'.
The unsuccessful Tailors Strike of 1834 resulted in the collapse of the Grand National Consolidated Trades Union and a reduction in the tailors wages.
