EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the chaos and violence of the 1780 Gordon Riots in Britain. The image shows an angry mob setting fire to Newgate Prison, where anti-Catholic rioters have been jailed. Seeking revenge and plunder, the mob is depicted in a frenzy of destruction as they take matters into their own hands.
The historical significance of this momentous event is palpable in the intensity of the scene. The riots were sparked by tensions over Catholic emancipation and fears of "popery" taking hold in British society. As a result, violent protests erupted throughout London, culminating in the attack on Newgate Prison.
The sheer scale of the anger and desperation portrayed in this print is chilling. It serves as a stark reminder of how quickly civil unrest can escalate into full-blown chaos when fueled by prejudice and fear.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just a snapshot of history, but a visceral representation of human emotions pushed to their limits. This image stands as a testament to the power dynamics at play during times of social upheaval, reminding us that even acts carried out with righteous indignation can spiral out of control with devastating consequences.
