EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history as Chartists process from the mass meeting on Kennington Common towards Blackfriars Bridge in London on April 10, 1848. The image depicts the determined group of individuals marching towards the bridge, only to be stopped by police from crossing the Thames.
In the bottom left corner of the picture, one can see the penny newspaper duty stamp that Hetherington and Moore objected to. This small detail serves as a reminder of the larger struggle for social reform and political change that was taking place during this time.
The wood engraving beautifully captures the tension and energy of this historic event, showcasing both the unity and defiance of those fighting for their rights. The scene is filled with emotion and determination, as these brave individuals stand together in solidarity against injustice.
As we reflect on this moment from over a century ago, we are reminded of the importance of standing up for what is right and fighting for equality. This image serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and collective responsibility to continue striving towards a more just society.
