Description This image depicts a public meeting of more than 100,000 people at Copenhagen Fields,
Islington, called by the London Corresponding Society on 12 November 1795. The
figure on the right, brandishing a clenched fist, is John Thelwall, the political
reformer, who had been imprisoned in the Tower of London for treason the previous
year.
