Great Meeting of the Political Unions, On New-Hall Hill, Birmingham, May 1832.
Green Delt. Garner Sct.
London, Thomas Kelly. [c.1832.]
Steel engraving. 175 x 240mm (7 x 9½"0. Trimmed to plate.
The mass meeting of the Birmingham Political Union, formed in 1829 to campaign for parliamentary reform, on Newhall Hill, Birmingham, held on 7th May 1832. In the right foreground can be seen the political reformer and the Union's founder Thomas Attwood (1783 - 1856), in his carriage in the midst of the crowd. Attwood brought Birmingham to the edge of insurrection in 1832 to help ensure the passing of the Reform Act. Elected as Birmingham's first MP, he was a rare Parliamentary ally of Chartism and presented the first national petition to the House of Commons in 1839. Birmingham suffered two weeks of rioting following the petition's rejection. Attwood subsequently retired from public office and concentrated his energies on economic theory.
