EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in British history - the Chartists processing from a mass meeting on Kennington Common towards Blackfriars Bridge, London, on 10 April 1848. The image showcases the determination and unity of the Chartists as they marched together, demanding political reform and an extension of voting rights. However, what makes this photograph even more intriguing is the presence of the penny newspaper duty stamp in the bottom left corner. This small detail holds great significance as it symbolizes one of the key grievances that Hetherington and Moore objected to. The penny newspaper duty was a tax imposed on newspapers at that time, making them unaffordable for many working-class individuals who sought access to information and knowledge. The wood engraving technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to each figure depicted in this historical scene. One can almost feel their energy and passion radiating through their determined expressions. Through this powerful visual representation, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment when ordinary citizens fought for their right to be heard. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of political inclusion while also highlighting ongoing struggles for equality around the world today. This print by Archive from Universal Images Group (UIG) offers us not only a glimpse into our past but also an opportunity to reflect upon our present circumstances and strive for progress towards a fairer future.
