EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the moment of triumph for John Wilkes, the controversial English politician, as he enters the city of London in 1768 following his election to Parliament despite being exiled for his outspoken criticism of the government. The scene is one of jubilant chaos, with a mob of supporters waving hats, handkerchiefs, and flags, creating a sea of color and energy. Wilkes himself is shown waving from the back of a carriage, his expression one of both defiance and relief. The Wilkes Riots, as they came to be known, were a series of violent protests that erupted in response to Wilkes' expulsion from Parliament and subsequent exile in France. His supporters, who were largely made up of the urban working classes and radical Whigs, saw Wilkes as a champion of their rights and freedoms. They believed that his expulsion was an affront to the principles of democracy and the rule of law. Despite the chaos and violence that accompanied Wilkes' entry into the city, it was a significant moment in British history. It marked the beginning of a new era of political activism and the rise of the radical Whigs as a political force. Wilkes himself went on to have a long and influential political career, serving multiple terms in Parliament and continuing to champion the causes of democracy and individual liberties. This print, from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in British history and the passionate emotions that drove the Wilkes Riots. It is a reminder of the power of the people to shape their own destiny and the enduring importance of the principles of democracy and individual liberties.
