EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - a meeting of the Anti-Corn Law League in Newalls Building, Manchester, in 1838. The image showcases a gathering of men, all united by their shared determination to challenge the oppressive Corn Laws that plagued England during the 19th century. The engraving portrays an atmosphere charged with purpose and conviction. Each man's face reflects his commitment to this cause, as they discuss strategies and exchange ideas within the walls of Newalls Building. Their attire speaks volumes about their social standing and dedication to effecting change for the betterment of their country. The setting itself holds historical significance, representing Manchester's pivotal role in spearheading political movements during this era. This city became synonymous with activism and progressivism, making it an ideal location for such a crucial assembly. Printed originally as part of Cassells Illustrated History of England volume VII around 1895, this image serves as both a visual record and testament to the power of collective action. Preserved through time by The Print Collector, it allows us today to glimpse into an important chapter in British history. As we behold this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded that progress is often born from unity and unwavering determination. It stands as a reminder that ordinary individuals can come together to challenge unjust laws and shape the destiny of their nation for generations to come.
