EDITORS COMMENTS
Their Sins WILL Find Them Out (colour litho) captures the essence of 19th-century British society, exposing the underlying themes of justice, unfairness, and inequality. This satirical cartoon, created by an anonymous English artist and published in Truth magazine on December 25th, 1892, offers a scathing critique of politicians and criminals alike. The image depicts a group of individuals standing in front of stocks – a form of punishment commonly used during that era. The caricatured figures represent various members of Victorian society who have committed sins or crimes. With exaggerated features and expressions, they are portrayed as both comical and sinister. Through this artwork's clever satire, it highlights the flaws within the political system while shedding light on societal injustices prevalent at that time. The artist uses symbolism to convey their message effectively; for instance, the stocks symbolize public humiliation and punishment for wrongdoings. This print serves as a reminder that no one can escape the consequences of their actions. It challenges viewers to question whether true justice is being served or if certain individuals are able to evade accountability due to their status or position. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece from our private collection today, it prompts us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of social progress since those times while acknowledging that there is still work to be done.
