EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the struggle for workers' rights - the Meeting of Trades Unionists in Copenhagen Fields, 1834. The image, beautifully rendered in color engraving by W. Summers, transports us back to that fateful day when thousands of determined individuals gathered at Copenhagen Fields in Islington. The scene depicts a powerful demonstration as trade unionists march with unwavering resolve towards their destination - Buckingham Palace. Their purpose? To deliver a petition directly to the king himself, vehemently protesting against the unjust transportation of six Dorset farm workers known as the Tolpuddle Martyrs to Australia. These brave men were being punished simply for forming a trades union and fighting for fair treatment. Every detail within this artwork speaks volumes about the collective spirit and determination of these trade unionists. From their resolute expressions to their unified strides forward, it is evident that they are united in their cause and unyielding in their pursuit of justice. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from our private collection, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us and fought tirelessly for workers' rights. It serves as an enduring testament to the power of solidarity and reminds us that progress is born out of courageously standing up against injustice.
