Sauce for the Gander, 1871. Artist: Joseph Swain

Sauce for the Gander, 1871. A working man sits down to his evening meal. His wife, however, is still working. This cartoon relates to the strike of engineers at Newcastle. The strike had been called in support of a reduction of working hours to nine, and had lasted 19 weeks. After a compromise was reached that allowed for a reduction in the working week of three hours, to make the total amount 54, the men went back to work. The woman's work, however, is never done. From Punch, or the London Charivari, October 14, 1871.
