Spanning the tumultuous and uncertain years between 1848-1996 this course examines the rich visual history of Parliamentary political backbiting and popular agitation in Liverpool from about the time of the end of the European potato failure and the start of the Irish War of Independence. Through the media of political cartoons, paintings, engravings and drawings as well as the caricature of magazines such as 'Punch'; the difficulties of leading Liverpudlian figures of the day such as PMs Edward Smith Stanley and William Ewart Gladstone as well as MPs such as T. P. O'Connor and artists such as Walter Crane are adumbrated, in a bid to explain how and why Liverpool became such a hotbed of left wing dissent. Designed to appeal to anybody with an interest in Liverpool history, art, culture, social history and of course politics.
