EDITORS COMMENTS
Trafalgar Square Demonstration 1892: A Historical Gathering of the People's Voice This print from 1892, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of one of London's most iconic landmarks, Trafalgar Square. The image, titled 'Wot! Allowed to meet in Trafalgar Square on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays, are we! Then we just won't go!', captures the spirit of a demonstration that took place during a time when public gatherings were not yet a given right. The cartoon-like illustration depicts a diverse crowd of Londoners, gathered together in the square, holding banners and signs, expressing their opinions and demands. The caption, written in a playful yet determined tone, reflects the sense of camaraderie and defiance among the protesters. The image serves as a reminder of the long-standing tradition of political demonstrations in Trafalgar Square, which continues to this day. The year 1892 marked a significant moment in the history of public gatherings in Trafalgar Square, as the Metropolitan Police began to allow protests and demonstrations to take place on Saturdays, Sundays, and Bank Holidays. Prior to this, such gatherings were strictly prohibited, making this print an important historical document of a pivotal moment in London's political and social history. The print also serves as a visual testament to the power of the people to come together and make their voices heard, even in the face of opposition. It is a reminder that the right to peaceful assembly and protest is a fundamental aspect of democratic societies, and one that should be cherished and protected.
