A Contemporary Impression of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, (1838), 1934
A Contemporary Impression of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, 1838. After an illustration origionally in the Cleaves Penny Gazette. The Tolpuddle Martyrs were a group of 19th century agricultural labourers from Dorset who were convicted of swearing a secret oath as members of the Friendly Society of Agricultural Labourers. The rules of the society show it was clearly structured as a friendly society and operated as a trade-specific benefit society. But at the time, friendly societies had strong elements of what would now be considered trade unions. Before 1824/25 the Combination Acts had outlawed combining or organising to gain better working conditions. The Tolpuddle Martyrs were subsequently sentenced to transportation to Australia. Their convictions caused public outcry and 800, 000 signatures were collected for their release. The march organised by their supporters was one of the first successful political marches in the UK, and all, except James Hammett (who had a previous criminal record for theft) were released in 1836. From The Book of The Martyrs of Tolpuddle: 1834-1934, published by The Trades Union Congress General Council, 1934

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a contemporary impression of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, a group of 19th-century agricultural laborers from Dorset who faced unjust convictions for their involvement in the Friendly Society of Agricultural Labourers. The image is based on an illustration originally featured in the Cleaves Penny Gazette and showcases the resilience and determination of these martyrs. In 1834, the Tolpuddle Martyrs were sentenced to transportation to Australia after being found guilty of swearing a secret oath as members of their trade-specific benefit society. This act was seen as a threat by authorities who feared its resemblance to early trade unions that had been outlawed under previous legislation. However, public outrage ensued, with over 800,000 signatures collected for their release. Their cause gained significant support and led to one of the first successful political marches in UK history organized by their loyal supporters. Published by The Trades Union Congress General Council in 1934, "The Book of The Martyrs of Tolpuddle: 1834-1934" commemorates this historic event and serves as a reminder of the power that collective action can have against injustice. This print not only preserves an important moment in British labor history but also pays tribute to those who fought for workers' rights at great personal cost. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit and legacy left behind by the brave Tolpuddle Martyrs.
