EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in British history - The Hunger Marchers of 1932. In the midst of economic turmoil, with unemployment rates soaring to a staggering 2,750,000, the National Unemployed Workers Movement organized a monumental protest known as the Great National Hunger March against the Means Test. The image portrays a powerful scene on the streets of London. Men from all walks of life, hailing from South Wales Valleys, Scotland, and Northern England embarked on this arduous journey towards Hyde Park. As they marched through London's avenues and lanes, their determination was palpable. Mounted police officers line the streets on horseback; their presence symbolizing authority and control amidst civil disobedience. The sepia-toned photograph evokes an atmosphere of struggle and resilience during these challenging times. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder of workers' rights movements that fought for justice and fair employment opportunities during one of Britain's most turbulent eras. It encapsulates both hope and despair within its monochrome frame. Preserved by The Print Collector29 from Daily Express in 1938, this image stands as a testament to human perseverance in the face of adversity. It is an invaluable piece that sheds light on our past struggles while inspiring us to continue fighting for equality and social progress today.
