EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting moment in history, depicting the harrowing scene of rioters bathing their standard bearer's hands in blood during violent disturbances linked to low pay within the iron industry. Taken in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, back in 1831, this illustration from Volume 2 of The Chronicles of Crime, or The New Newgate Calendar (1841), showcases the incredible talent of illustrator Hablot Knight Browne, also known as Phiz. The image evokes a sense of determination and anticipation as these British laborers express their frustration and anger over pressing issues plaguing their industry. With black and white tones enhancing its dramatic effect, this photograph transports us back to a time when Europe witnessed significant social unrest. The preparation for protest is evident through the presence of flags held high by resolute male figures. Their commitment to fighting for better working conditions is palpable. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder that struggles faced by workers are not limited to any specific era but have been prevalent throughout human civilization.
