Chartist Demonstration on Kennington Common', 10th April 1848. Chartism was a working class movement, between 1838 and 1848, whose aim was political reform in Britain. It takes its name from the People's Charter of 1838. In this engraving, taken from a photograph, we see some of the estimated 150,000 people who gathered for the largest Chartist demonstration.
