EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "W.T. Stead, My Father (1885): A Result of His Human Rights Campaign on Behalf of Women and Children," depicts English journalist and social reformer William Thomas Stead (1849-1912) during his imprisonment at Coldbath-in-the-Fields on November 10, 1885. Stead, a pioneering investigative journalist, is best known for his groundbreaking exposé, "The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon," which brought public attention to the issue of child prostitution in Victorian England. The photograph captures Stead as he sits in a cramped, dimly lit cell, dressed in prison garb and holding a bundle of papers and a quill pen. The arrow-like shadows cast on the wall behind him suggest the passage of time and the relentless pursuit of justice that led him to this moment. Stead's unwavering commitment to human rights, particularly for women and children, had made him a target of those who sought to protect the status quo. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for social change in the face of adversity. Stead's campaign, which began in 1885, ultimately led to the passage of the Criminal Law Amendment Act in 1885, which raised the age of consent for girls from 13 to 16. This important legislation marked a significant step forward in the fight against child exploitation and the protection of women's rights. The photograph, from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a testament to the power of journalism and the human spirit in effecting positive change.
