Richard Oastler [signature facsimile.]
Painted By B. Garside. Engraved By J. Posselwhite.
[n.d., c.1841.]
Stipple and line engraving. 430 x 330mm (17 x 13").
Richard Oastler (1789 - 1861), reformer. 'The factory king', Oastler was a Tory radical who turned factory reform into a compelling national issue. His paternalistic view of society meant that he abhorred the idea of universal suffrage. However, he was a hero without parallel within northern radicalism and his inclusion symbolically incorporated him into the Chartist movement.
NP: 7845.
