"Bigotry: A Historical Reflection on Prejudice and Discrimination" In this captivating collection of historical images, we are confronted with the harsh reality of bigotry that has plagued societies throughout time. From a hand-coloured engraving titled "The Disappointment or D--n. . me Shes a Black one, " published in London in 1828, to an intriguing caricature of Edouard Drumont from the front cover of Le Rire in 1898, these visual hints serve as reminders of the destructive power of prejudice. Amongst these depictions, we witness anger personified through various figures such as a policeman, soldier, and judge. These illustrations highlight how bigotry can infiltrate every aspect of society and perpetuate discrimination at all levels. Additionally, Georges Bigot's artwork "Le Japon illudere (La Presse au Japon)" from 1887 sheds light on how even different cultures can be subjected to biased portrayals. As we delve further into history, glimpses into London life during the early 19th century emerge. Details of the remains of Prior Lewes Inn in Bermondsey and scenes from Dulwich College provide us with insights into societal structures tainted by prejudice. Meanwhile, images like "The White House on the banks of River Lea" and "Courtyard Royal Exchange" transport us back to bustling cityscapes where biases may have thrived within diverse communities. A thought-provoking image captures a Japanese soldier challenging a Russian soldier under the watchful eye and encouragement of an Englishman and Uncle Sam. This serves as a reminder that bigotry is not confined to any particular nation but rather transcends borders when fueled by ignorance or intolerance. Finally, Anne Madame Cornuel's portrait reminds us that even influential individuals were not immune to prejudiced beliefs. And engraved scenes from Shakespeare's King John depict discriminatory attitudes prevalent during his era.
