EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we are transported to a press room where an intriguing scene unfolds. The focus of the image is on a group of individuals trying on what appears to be a pinioning jacket, a restraining garment used in prisons during that era. Both men and women can be seen participating in this peculiar activity. The atmosphere is filled with curiosity as prison warders observe closely while children eagerly join in the experiment. Their expressions range from apprehension to fascination, reflecting their varying levels of understanding about the purpose behind such restraints. Published in the Illustrated London News on March 22nd, 1873, this print offers us a glimpse into an aspect of history often overlooked - prison visits and their impact on society. It raises questions about how these experiences affected both adults and children alike. As we delve deeper into this thought-provoking artwork by English School, it becomes evident that it serves as more than just an illustration; it acts as a window into social norms and practices prevalent during that time period. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection invites us to reflect upon our own perceptions of justice and punishment while reminding us of the importance of understanding historical contexts when examining societal issues today.
