EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Karl Marx attends an IWMA meeting in London in 1864. The International Working Men's Association, also known as the First International, brought together working men and craftsmen from various countries to discuss labor rights and social reform.
In this reproduction of O.G. Verejski's painting entitled "Marx at the IWMA Meeting," we see Marx among a crowd of campaigners and activists, observing the proceedings with intensity. Though he is not speaking at this particular moment, his presence alone speaks volumes about his dedication to the cause of socialism and workers' rights.
The atmosphere in St Martins Meeting Hall is charged with passion and determination as these individuals come together to advocate for change. The Victorian era was a time of great social upheaval, and figures like Marx played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of the time.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the struggles faced by working-class people throughout history and the importance of solidarity in fighting for justice. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and fair treatment in our society.
