EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the opening section of the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act, a pivotal moment in the history of poverty relief in England. Passed by the British Parliament in 1834, this legislation largely replaced the outdated 1601 Poor Law and established a new system based on poor law unions and union workhouses. The New Poor Law, as it came to be known, aimed to reduce the number of people relying on outdoor relief and instead encourage able-bodied individuals to enter workhouses in exchange for assistance. The act's wording, as seen in this print, outlines the establishment of these unions and the role of the workhouses as institutions for the provision of relief. The 1830s saw significant social and economic changes in England, and this act marked a turning point in the country's approach to poverty and welfare. The print's intricate ivory-toned detail and elegant Georgian typography serve to highlight the historical significance of this legal document, which continues to shape the welfare systems of many countries today.
