EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity and urgency of the petition mongers as they make their pleas to St. Stephen's Chapel in the heart of 18th century London. Petition mongers were professional petition writers and distributors who helped individuals and groups present their grievances to the British Parliament. Dressed in simple clothing, they blended in with the crowds, making it difficult for the unsuspecting to distinguish them from the genuine petitioners. However, as this print warns, not all petition mongers had noble intentions. Some were known to fabricate petitions or sell their services to the highest bidder, leading to widespread corruption and abuse of the petitioning process. The year was 1795, a time of political turmoil and social unrest in Britain. The French Revolution had sparked fears of revolution in England, and the government was under immense pressure to address the growing discontent among the population. Petitioning became a popular means of expressing dissent, and the petition mongers were in high demand. This print, titled "PETITION MONGERS in full cry to St Stephens!! Beware of wolves in sheeps cloathing," serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and caution in the face of deception. The image of a wolf in sheep's clothing was a common metaphor for disguised danger, and the petition mongers were no exception. The print's bold title and the determined expressions of the petitioners add to the sense of urgency and danger, making it a powerful commentary on the political climate of the time. Today, this print is a valuable historical record of the petitioning process in 18th century Britain and a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in political representation.
