This was one of a series of Congresses held in various European cities, following the establishment of the Second International in 1889. As the 1896 congress was held in London, there was a very large British delegation of 476 from a wide range of organisations including 159 from trade unions, 26 from trades councils and 5 from women's organisations. The Social Democratic Federation sent 121, the Independent Labour Party 117, the Fabian Society 3. Will Thorne was the main organiser of the 1896 Congress. This delegate card was designed by Walter Crane.
