This lithograph by Henry Heath, published in 1832, depicts Henry Brougham, a prominent British politician, receiving praise from freed slaves while ignoring a group of child factory workers. The contrast highlights the hypocrisy perceived at the time of Brougham's advocacy for the abolition of slavery while simultaneously ignoring the exploitation of children in British factories.
