EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front cover of The Crisis, a weekly periodical edited by Robert Owen (1771-1858) and Robert Dale Owen (1801-77). The image was captured by an English School artist in 1832 and is now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Robert Owen, often referred to as the Father of English Socialism, was a renowned philanthropist and founder of the Co-operative movement. He firmly believed in worker control, self-help, and practical solutions to societal issues. As manager of the New Lanark mills in Scotland, he implemented innovative measures for workers' welfare. The photograph captures not only his portrait but also reflects his vision for a community experiment with 2000 people. It symbolizes his commitment to creating national arrangements that would include all working classes within a great organization. This image represents more than just a front cover; it embodies the essence of British utopian socialism during this era. It serves as a reminder of Owen's dedication to improving conditions for the poor through philanthropy and socialist principles. Furthermore, this print offers insight into political movements such as trade unions and labor rights that were gaining momentum at that time. It highlights how industrialists like Robert Owen played significant roles in shaping society for working-class individuals. Overall, this historic image provides us with a glimpse into an influential figure's life while capturing key themes such as poverty alleviation, secularism, and social change during the 19th century.
