EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration takes us back in time to the harsh realities of punishment in 19th-century England. The photo print, titled "Man Locked In A Pillory" captures a haunting scene from William Aubrey's renowned book, "The National And Domestic History Of England". Published in London around 1890, this image offers a glimpse into the dark world of English justice. In the center of attention stands a man trapped within the confines of a pillory—a device designed to publicly shame and punish wrongdoers. His face etched with despair and humiliation, we witness his plight as he endures this brutal form of confinement. The stark contrast between light and shadow heightens our sense of empathy for this unfortunate prisoner. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction allows us to appreciate the intricate details that bring this historical moment to life. Every line and contour tells a story—each stroke capturing both the physical pain endured by those locked in such devices and the emotional toll it took on their spirits. As we gaze upon this powerful image, let us reflect on how far society has come since these times. It serves as an important reminder not only of our past but also as a testament to our progress towards more humane forms of punishment.
