Strike Home!, 1872. The baker is on strike and the British worker wonders where he will get his dinner from. This relates to the strike amongst bakers which followed hard on the heels of the extensive strike amongst the country's carpenters. It was to be followed before the end of the year by a strike amongst the Metropolitan police and the capital's gas-workers. From Punch, or the London Charivari, October 5, 1872.
