EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Free Trade Medal, created in 1846 by an English School artist. Measuring at a diameter of 4.7 cm, this metal medal is proudly displayed at the Manchester Art Gallery in the United Kingdom. The medal was crafted to commemorate the passing of the anti-corn law league bill on June 25th, 1846. The image depicts a powerful symbol of progress and reform during the 19th century. It represents a significant milestone in British history as it marked a shift towards free trade policies and agricultural relief for farmers. The intricate metalwork beautifully captures elements such as Britannia, men, and various political symbols that personify democratic values and equality. The Free Trade Medal serves as a reminder of how politics can shape society's evolution towards social change. Its presence reflects not only Britain's commitment to progressive ideals but also its influence on Europe as a whole. As viewers engage with this thought-provoking artwork, they are transported back to an era where politicians fought tirelessly for economic freedom and equal opportunities for all citizens. This portrait-like representation offers insight into the political landscape of that time while highlighting key figures who championed these egalitarian principles. Overall, this print encapsulates both historical significance and artistic craftsmanship, making it an invaluable piece within Manchester Art Gallery's collection.
