EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the chaos and unrest of The Riot in Broad Street, which took place on the seventh of June in the year 1780. The image portrays a large and angry mob gathered in the narrow, cobblestone street, surrounded by the crumbling architecture of 18th century London. The crowd, composed of both men and women, are shown throwing stones and other projectiles at the windows of a building, presumably the source of their anger. The windows of the building are broken and debris is strewn about the street, adding to the sense of destruction and disorder. The cause of the riot is not explicitly stated in the print, but it is believed to have been sparked by the arrest of a popular and charismatic political figure named John Wilkes. Wilkes, a radical politician and editor of the controversial newspaper "The North Briton," had been arrested for seditious libel after publishing an article critical of the King and the government. His arrest ignited a wave of public outrage, leading to the violent protests seen in this print. The Riot in Broad Street was a significant event in the history of London and the wider political climate of the time. It marked a turning point in the growing tensions between the people and the ruling elite, and foreshadowed the more widespread political unrest that would come to define the late 18th century. This powerful and evocative print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political upheaval and social unrest.
