EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Men who have seen better days: tally clerks being engaged outside the Surrey Commercial Dock, London" takes us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century England. The litho artwork by E. S. Hodgson, dating around 1915, captures a poignant moment in history when employment was scarce and times were tough. The image showcases a group of tally clerks eagerly vying for work outside the iconic Surrey Commercial Dock in London. These men, once prosperous and respected members of society, now find themselves on hard times as they seek any opportunity to make ends meet. Their weathered faces tell stories of struggle and resilience amidst an uncertain future. Published in The Sphere magazine on December 15,1900, this engraving provides a glimpse into the labor market during Victorian Britain. It serves as a reminder that economic downturns can affect even those who were once gainfully employed. As we reflect upon this snapshot from history, it is important to recognize the universal nature of such challenges faced by workers across Europe and beyond. This image not only represents British culture but also sheds light on broader themes like unemployment and social upheaval that transcend borders. Through its evocative composition and historical significance, this litho print reminds us of the hardships endured by these tally clerks while also honoring their determination to persevere despite adversity.
