Charles Bradlaugh was a prominent figure in Victorian-era politics, known for his radical views and unwavering commitment to secularism. Born in Doncaster in 1833, he rose to prominence as an English Liberal politician and atheist. Throughout his career, Bradlaugh faced numerous challenges and controversies. One notable incident occurred on September 17, 1887 when a cartoon titled "Doncaster from St. Stephens Review Presentation Cartoon" depicted him amidst the political turmoil of the time. Another engraving titled "Sketches in the House of Commons, Question Time" captured Bradlaugh's active participation during parliamentary debates. His strong convictions often put him at odds with traditional beliefs and practices. Bradlaugh's defiance reached its peak when he was arrested within the hallowed halls of the House of Commons itself. The engraving titled "Arrest of Mr Bradlaugh in the House of Commons" immortalized this dramatic event that showcased his unyielding dedication to his principles. Despite facing opposition from various quarters, including satirical portrayals such as Punch cartoon's depiction of him as an English Liberal politician and atheist, Bradlaugh remained undeterred. He stood firm even when brought before the Bar of the House of Commons as shown in another engraving aptly named "Mr Bradlaugh at the Bar. " His influence extended beyond politics; he became a symbol for those challenging societal norms through works like "Iconoclast, " a colorful lithograph showcasing his revolutionary ideas. In recognition of his contributions to society, a statue was erected posthumously at Northampton by sculptor George Tinworth. This black-and-white photograph captures this tribute to Charles Bradlaugh's legacy. The photogravure titled "Politics and politicians of the Victorian era" provides insight into how influential figures like Charles Bradlaugh shaped British politics during this transformative period.
