Amongst them are images depicting Welsh Chartist Martyrs - Jones, Frost, and Williams - whose fight for social reform led them down a path that ultimately ended in prosecution. But it wasn't just political movements that faced legal consequences; even figures like George Hudson shocked Britannia herself with his revelation of railway improprieties.
