EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dated circa 1832, depicts a symbolic naval battle between the Reform and Anti-Reform ships, representing the ongoing political struggle over the Reform Bill during the 1830s in Britain. The Reform ship, triumphantly sailing forward, signifies the progressive forces pushing for legislative change, while the Anti-Reform ship, with its defeated appearance, represents the opposition to democratic reforms. The victorious Reform ship carries the portraits of key figures who championed the cause for reform, including the Duke of Wellington, Lords Brougham and Russell, and the Duke of Grey. These influential individuals played significant roles in advocating for expanded suffrage, improved representation in Parliament, and the abolition of the corrupt and outdated system of 'rotten boroughs.' The Archbishop of Canterbury is also present on the Reform ship, symbolizing the support of the Church of England for the reform movement. This alliance between religious and political leaders was crucial in gaining public approval and momentum for the Reform Bill. Amidst the turbulent waters of political upheaval, this print serves as a powerful reminder of the determination and unity required to bring about democratic change. The Reform Bill, which was eventually passed in 1832, marked a pivotal moment in British history, expanding the franchise and paving the way for further democratic reforms.
