England in the nineteenth century!!Grant, C. J. (Charles Jameson), active 1830-1852, printmaker[1841]engOn the left, poor emaciated laborers are chained to the ground while above them dangle bread, meat and beer just out of their reach. Behind them a building inscribed 'Poor Law Union'. The ground is inscribed 'Land of the free'. A crowd of people enter a tunnel that above has a sign that reads, 'County Gaol.' In contrast, on the right fat Members of Parliament sit and listen to a speech against Poor Law Reform made by possibly Melborne (William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne) who has a paper inscribed with '£70 000 Per Annum'.Title from text below image.Initials of printmaker Charles Jameson Grant in lower left portion of design.Part of a new series of The political drama that was begun in 1841.
