[Proposal] Friedrich Engels - The Condition of the Working Class in England

[Robin Whittleton]

I’m considering this as a possible next production (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Condition_of_the_Working_Class_in_England) but I’m not 100 that it fits into our collections policy. It is objectively facts-based, but it set Engels down an important path, and remains in publication (e.g. https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/133234/the-condition-of-the-working-class-in-england-by-engels-friedrich-ed-victor-kiernan-intro-tristram-hunt/9780141191102).

Thoughts?

-Robin

[Alex Cabal]

Sure, you could do it. I would classify it as an interesting exception
since it influenced what might have been the defining political movement
of the 20th century

OK, repo at https://github.com/robinwhittleton/friedrich-engels_the-condition-of-the-working-class-in-england_florence-kelley-wischnewetzky

I’m using scans from https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.22153 which have the same 1892 publication date as the transcription at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/17306. The transcription seems to be missing the dedication / call-to-arms (https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.22153/page/XX/mode/1up) so I’ve added that.

[Weijia Cheng]

Ok, noted!

[Robin Whittleton]

Having a bit of trouble with cover art for this. We could go with something like Ford Madox Ford’s Work which does try to depict a whole bunch of the social strata of the time (well, a decade later, but 🤷‍♂️). But it seems broadly more cheery that Engel’s book makes the dire situation out to be.

Alternatively, something like Meunier’s In the Black Country has more of the feel right, but Engel’s primarily focused on manufacturing factories, and the painting doesn’t have any people in it. And it’s the wrong Black Country, being Belgium’s Black Country.

Another option would be something like Cormon’s The Forge, as it’s got the right atmosphere of dust and generally unsafe conditions. But it’s 50 years too late, and metal working is only touched on in the book. It’s also all men, with no women and children to be seen.

Thoughts? Anything better immediately come to mind?

…Ford Madox Brown that is.

I forgot to mention that there are two G. F. Watts that would be pretty good: https://watts-col.adlibhosting.com/Details/collect/163 and https://watts-col.adlibhosting.com/Details/collect/203. But I can’t find photographic evidence, and the museum is non-commercial reuse only. I’ve emailed them to see if they’d consider relicensing their corpus as CC0; highly unlikely, but one can hope! (They’re a nice museum, I used to go regularly when I lived in the UK.)

Ok, I set Work as the cover art for now. Let me know if you end up deciding on something else.

[Robin Whittleton]

I was more asking if you had an opinion 🙂

After a bit more digging I finally found proof for The Seamstress. If you’re happy with this can you approve and reassign? https://standardebooks.org/artworks/g-f-watts/the-seamstress

[Weijia Cheng]

Sorry, I misread your second message as "Ford Madox Ford it is"!

Apparently I don't have permission to remove the book assignment from Work, so Alex will have to reassign the painting I think.

[Robin Whittleton]

OK, I’ll let Alex do that then. As you approved, I’ve pushed everything up to https://github.com/robinwhittleton/friedrich-engels_the-condition-of-the-working-class-in-england_florence-kelley-wischnewetzky so this is now ready for review Emma.

Notes:

• The transcription didn’t have the dedication but the scans did, so I included it.
• I didn’t convert any numbers from decimals as this is a very fact based book rather than a novel.
• I left the “in 1844” off from the title as that’s the current common usage.
• The tables don’t quite fit on a standard page. I’ve left them at standard size, but potentially we could drop the size slightly.
• 11 typos submitted to PG.

I think the rest should be as usual.
