EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 15th century, showcasing a finger pillory used as a form of punishment and restraint. A relic from the past, this image is extracted from William Aubrey's renowned book "The National And Domestic History Of England" published in London around 1890. The monochromatic tones of black and white add an air of antiquity, perfectly complementing the subject matter. Intriguingly, this illustration sheds light on an era when justice was served through physical means. The finger pillory symbolizes the harshness and severity of punishments during medieval times in England. It serves as a reminder that our understanding of justice has evolved significantly over the ages. Ken Welsh's expertise in historical imagery shines through once again with his meticulous attention to detail. Through his lens, we are transported into a bygone era where such restraints were common sights within society. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since those days – both in terms of our legal systems and societal values. This photograph encapsulates not only history but also serves as a testament to human progress and our continuous pursuit for more humane methods of justice.
