Industrial landscape drawn by Chartist leader Ernest Jones, c1848-c1850. Ernest Jones was one of the leaders of the Chartist movement, which sought to achieve universal suffrage and radical social reform in the middle of the 19th century. Jones was imprisoned from 1848 to 1850 for making seditious speeches, and this drawing was made by him while he was in prison, using paper and ink saved from his allowance for writing letters home. Its depiction of a gloomy, nightmarish urban and industrial landscape reflects the movement's abhorrence of the cramped, polluted towns which arose as a consequence of the Industrial Revolution.
