I love this! Photo of an elderly Frances Wyatt, an important Chartist in her earlier years, as unearthed by @markcrail.bsky.social in his new book, Chartist Lives. It’s brilliant that detailed research like this is still ongoing into this remarkable movement.

Frances Wyatt was the matriarch of a prominent Chartist family and a mainstay of the City of London Female Charter Association. Her story is one of many to feature in Chartist Lives, out now in hardback, paperback and as an ebook #BookSky #C19th #History www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0G3Q7PR7Y

Looks good. Pre-ordered this and its arrival in February will be a pleasant surprise.

Southampton Street, looking down towards the Strand. The National Charter Association had its offices at number 14 in the 1840s and early 1850s. I don’t think a single brick remains from that time in the entire street.
