Tyranny, 1870. Artist: Charles Samuel Keene
Tyranny, 1870. A group of labourers and criminals are shown discussing initiatives that were designed both to improve the education of the working-classes, and to cut crime. Many of the very poorest urban citizens were familiar with prisons and workhouses, and the opportunity to gain some form of education rather than be consigned by repetitive, tedious treadmill work might have been expected to receive a more enthusiastic response. From Punch, or the London Charivari, April 2, 1870

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Tyranny, 1870" artist Charles Samuel Keene takes us back to a significant moment in British history. The image portrays a group of labourers and criminals engaged in an intense discussion about initiatives aimed at improving education for the working classes while simultaneously reducing crime rates. During the 19th century, many impoverished urban citizens found themselves trapped in prisons or workhouses due to their dire circumstances. However, these proposed educational opportunities offered them a glimmer of hope, providing an alternative to monotonous treadmill work. One might expect that such initiatives would be met with enthusiasm by those longing for change. Yet, Keene's satirical depiction suggests otherwise. The men depicted wear bowler hats and are dressed in typical working-class attire of the time. Their expressions convey skepticism and perhaps even resentment towards these new proposals. Through his masterful use of engraving techniques, Keene captures the essence of social class divisions prevalent during this era. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of Britain's complex societal dynamics during the 19th century – where access to education was not always embraced by those it intended to benefit. As we gaze upon this heritage image partnership print from Charles Samuel Keene's collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the struggles faced by individuals caught between crime and limited educational opportunities – ultimately shedding light on an important chapter in British history.
