EDITORS COMMENTS
This political cartoon, titled "The New Marshal" by an unknown artist, offers a commentary on the turbulent Reform League demonstration that took place in Hyde Park, London, in 1866. The large and chaotic scene depicts a horseback Duke of Wellington attempting to maintain order amidst a sea of agitated protesters. In the background, a trade unionist named George Potter, dressed in a top hat and holding a cane, calmly leads a group of demonstrators. The Reform League was a working-class organization that advocated for political reforms, including the extension of the franchise to the working class. The demonstration in Hyde Park, which took place some months earlier, had turned violent, resulting in widespread rioting and destruction. Despite the chaos, Potter, an influential figure in the labor movement, remained a steady presence, leading his followers with determination and resolve. This image serves as a powerful symbol of the activism and leadership of the working class during a time of political upheaval. In 1871, Potter went on to become the first President of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), further cementing his role as a key figure in the labor movement. This cartoon offers a unique glimpse into the political climate of the 1860s and the emergence of working-class activism in Britain.
