EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ket The Tenner Addressing His Followers, 1902" captures a significant moment in history. Depicting Robert Ket, the English leader of the Norfolk rising of 1549, also known as Ket's Rebellion, this image showcases his powerful presence and influence over his followers. In this photograph by Patten Wilson, we see Ket passionately addressing a large crowd outdoors in Norfolk. With his hand raised high and an axe resting beside him, he gestures with conviction while delivering an impactful speech. The monochrome effect adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the intensity of civil unrest during the 16th century. Ket's rebellion was fueled by grievances against enclosures and unfair land distribution policies that affected small landowners like himself. As either a tanner or a small landowner himself, Ket became an iconic figurehead for those who felt oppressed by their social circumstances. This print is from Charles Dickens' book "A Child's History of England" published in 1902. It serves as a reminder of the historical significance surrounding Ket's uprising and highlights Dickens' interest in documenting important events through literature. Patten Wilson skillfully captures both the determination on Ket's face and the unity among his followers through this engraving. This image stands as a testament to Robert Ket's leadership skills and enduring legacy as one of England's most influential rebels during a time marked by social upheaval.
