'Tyranny', 1870.

'Tyranny', 1870. A group of labourers and criminals are shown discussing initiatives that were designed both to improve the education of the working-classes, and to cut crime. Many of the very poorest urban citizens were familiar with prisons and workhouses, and the opportunity to gain some form of education rather than be consigned by repetitive, tedious treadmill work might have been expected to receive a more enthusiastic response. From "Punch, or the London Charivari", April 2, 1870.. Stunning Photo Gifts From Heritage Images
