EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Attack on Sir Charles Wetherell at Bristol AD 1831" by William Barnes Wollen depicts a dramatic moment in English history. The scene unfolds amidst the bustling streets of Bristol, England, as a carriage carrying Sir Charles Wetherell is besieged by an enraged mob. The print captures the chaos and intensity of the attack with remarkable detail. Horses rear up in fear, their wild eyes reflecting the turmoil surrounding them. The mob, dressed in period costumes, brandishes makeshift weapons and shouts slogans of protest against Wetherell. This historical event took place during a time of political unrest known as the Reform Riots of 1831. Sir Charles Wetherell was a controversial figure who opposed parliamentary reform measures that aimed to extend voting rights to more citizens. His visit to Bristol sparked outrage among those advocating for change. Wollen's skillful engraving transports viewers back to this pivotal moment in English history, allowing us to witness firsthand the passion and determination of those fighting for social justice. This particular print comes from Cassells History of England published around 1920 and is now part of a private collection. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of our past but also how art can preserve moments that shaped our society forever.
