1788 1850 Bread Cheap Classes Free Pays Peel Policy Resulting Tribute


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Leech1850, titled "Sir Robert Peel: Punch pays tribute to his Free Trade policy resulting in cheap bread for the working classes," is a poignant reminder of the significant impact Sir Robert Peel had on British history. Dated 1850, the image depicts Sir Robert Peel, a prominent 19th-century statesman, with a top hat in hand as he extends it towards a group of working-class individuals, who in turn, offer him loaves of bread. The symbolism in this image is profound, as it represents Peel's groundbreaking Free Trade policy, which led to the importation of cheaper grains from abroad, ultimately resulting in more affordable bread for the working classes. Born in 1788, Sir Robert Peel served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice, from 1834 to 1835 and from 1841 to 1846. During his tenure, he introduced several reforms, including the repeal of the Corn Laws, which were protective tariffs on imported grain. This policy shift paved the way for the importation of cheaper grain, which in turn led to a decrease in the price of bread. This was a significant development, as bread was a staple food for the working classes, and any reduction in its cost was a welcome relief for them. The print by Leech1850 is not only a tribute to Sir Robert Peel's political acumen but also a testament to his commitment to improving the lives of the working classes. The image encapsulates the spirit of the era, highlighting the social and economic issues of the time while acknowledging the efforts of a visionary leader who sought to address them. This historical print is an essential addition to any collection focusing on British history, politics, and social reform.
