This print by F. Chester shows a crowded event. It’s a 1842 scene of the Great National Anti-Corn-Law Bazaar in Manchester. The work is part of the H Beard Print Collection. The bazaar was a big protest against high food taxes. It took place at the Manchester Theatre Royal. The print captures a moment of public debate during tough economic times.
