EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 15th century, showcasing a fascinating relic of justice - the Ducking Stool. From William Aubrey's renowned book "The National And Domestic History Of England" published in London around 1890, this illustration transports us into the heart of medieval England. The image captures a wooden stool or chair suspended above water, representing an archaic form of punishment known as ducking. Used primarily for women accused of various offenses, this method aimed to humiliate and shame individuals publicly. The stark contrast between the dark background and the white stool draws attention to its significance within society during those times. As we delve deeper into history through this thought-provoking visual representation, it is impossible not to ponder upon the harshness and severity that defined justice in earlier ages. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how far our legal systems have evolved over centuries. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the historical importance and artistic value embedded within this image. It invites viewers on a journey through time while sparking contemplation about societal norms, punishment methods, and cultural practices that shaped England's past. Without mentioning any commercial use or company affiliation, Ken Welsh has masterfully preserved an invaluable piece of English history through his lens – one that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
