1868 Anger Blackburn Crown Election Riot
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand takes us back in time to the tumultuous events of December 1868 in Blackburn, England. The image depicts a scene of intense chaos and unrest during the election riots that gripped the town. The wood engraving, created by an American artist, beautifully captures the raw emotions and energy emanating from the crowd. Angry faces can be seen contorted with frustration and determination as men gather together, united by their shared discontentment. Intriguingly, this snapshot offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in English history when political tensions ran high. The rioters' actions reflect their deep-rooted dissatisfaction with the electoral process or perhaps specific candidates vying for power. Despite being captured over 150 years ago, this image remains relevant today as it serves as a reminder of how passionate individuals can become when fighting for what they believe is right. It also prompts us to reflect on our own democratic systems and how they have evolved since that turbulent period. Granger Collection's meticulous preservation of this historical artifact allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in documenting an important chapter in English politics. This print is sure to captivate history enthusiasts and art lovers alike who seek to connect with moments that shaped our world.
