'A General Fast in consequence of the War!!', 1794. Artist: Isaac Cruikshank
'A General Fast in consequence of the War!!', 1794. Two separate views: Lambeth, showing an archbishop and his family gorging at the dinner table; and Spitalfields, showing a weaver and his family in rags and starving. There was great distress among the Spitalfields weavers at the end of the 18th century and the clergy were accused of indifference to their plight.
