EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history - the Penian attack on a police van in Manchester, 1867 AD. The artist, William Barnes Wollen, skillfully depicts the chaotic scene with intricate detail and vivid colors. The image transports us back to a time of social unrest and political turmoil. In this particular incident, members of the Penian movement launched an audacious assault on a police van. Dressed in their distinctive costumes, these brave individuals fought against what they perceived as unjust authority. Wollen's composition beautifully conveys the intensity of the situation. The riotous atmosphere is palpable as protesters clash with law enforcement officers amidst billowing smoke and flying debris. Every figure in the print seems to be frozen mid-action, capturing both their determination and desperation. As we gaze upon this historical document, we are reminded of the power that art holds in preserving our collective memory. This lithograph serves as a testament to an important chapter in British history - one that shaped not only Manchester but also influenced broader societal changes across England. Through its meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, this print invites us to reflect on past struggles for justice and equality while reminding us of our responsibility to continue fighting for these ideals today.
