EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the intense emotions of the Bristol Riots in 1831, a direct response to the rejection of the second Reform Bill by the House of Lords. In this chaotic scene, Sir Charles Wetherell, Recorder of Bristol and a staunch opponent of Reform, is shown being viciously attacked by an angry mob upon his entry into the city on October 23rd.
The engraving from c1890 brings to life a pivotal moment in British history when tensions over suffrage and political reform reached a boiling point. The image serves as a stark reminder of the struggle for democracy and equality that has defined our nation's past.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the power of collective action and civic engagement in shaping our society. The bravery and determination of those who took part in these riots serve as inspiration for us all to stand up for what we believe in and fight for positive change.
Let us never forget the sacrifices made by those who came before us in their quest for justice and representation. This print stands as a testament to their courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
