Every time 1 May rolls around I remember my parents telling me of the people's marches that would take place in our little town in #Sweden back when they were young. I never saw any, but I think a local left party still had some sort of gathering.

I went digging and actually found some images! No exact dates available, and photographers unknown, but still interesting to look at.

Happy #InternationalWorkersDay, happy #LabourDay to some, and happy #MayDay to others! Glad första maj!

Oh hey, here's a wonderful one from 1 May 1899, though not from my hometown. Look at that silk banner! I wonder if it still exists somewhere?

@curatedjenny they are part of history and thus interesting. 👍
