Roasting the Rumps": A Graphic Depiction of Violent Demonstrations in 17th Century Fleet Street This evocative image, titled "Roasting the Rumps," captures the intense political turmoil and violent demonstrations that erupted in London's Fleet Street during the mid-17th century. The Rump Parliament, a name given to the rump of the Long Parliament that remained after the departure of the Presbyterian members in 1648, was a contentious and divisive political body. The photograph portrays a chaotic scene, with a large crowd gathered in the heart of Fleet Street, a bustling hub of news and print culture in London. The protesters, fueled by their anger and frustration towards the Rump Parliament, are shown engaging in a violent demonstration. They are seen roasting the rumps of effigies, symbolizing the parliamentarians, on makeshift spits. The effigies are dressed in parliamentary robes, complete with hats and wigs, adding to the satirical and symbolic nature of the protest. The air is thick with smoke and the atmosphere is charged with tension and anger. The protesters, some armed with sticks and other makeshift weapons, are determined to make their voices heard. The scene is further amplified by the presence of onlookers, who are either participating in the protest or observing it with curiosity and apprehension. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the intense political passions and violent demonstrations that characterized the English Civil War era. It underscores the importance of the press and print culture in shaping public opinion and fueling political unrest. The image is also a testament to the enduring power of symbolic protest and the role it plays in shaping the course of history. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library and offers a unique glimpse into the tumultuous political landscape of 17th century England.
