EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chaotic scene of the "Attack on the Workhouse at Stockport in 1842". Created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, this engraving depicts a pivotal moment in history when protestors took to the streets to express their frustration and desperation. Driven by impassioned speeches that blamed both the Tories and the Church of England for neglecting impoverished and unemployed citizens, a determined mob descended upon Stockport. Their sole objective was to obtain food from the workhouse, which they believed was being hoarded while people suffered. In this powerful image, we witness rioters forcefully breaking into the workhouse, driven by hunger and desperation. The crowd is depicted clamoring for sustenance as loaves of bread are distributed amongst them. The intensity of their actions is palpable; it reflects not only their anger but also their sheer will to survive. The significance of this event lies in its portrayal of social unrest during a time when poverty plagued many communities. It serves as a reminder that even amidst great adversity, people will rise up and fight for what they believe is just. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving offers us an invaluable glimpse into a turbulent chapter in history. It stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a poignant reminder that societal change often emerges from moments like these – where voices unite against injustice.
