EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures a heartbreaking moment in history, as a convict in chains bids farewell before being rowed out to join the convict ship bound for Australia in 1830. The image speaks volumes about the harsh realities of colonialism and the brutal punishment inflicted upon those who broke the law.
The convict's expression is one of resignation and sorrow, knowing that they may never see their homeland again. The chains around their wrists serve as a stark reminder of their crimes and the price they must pay for them. As they are rowed away towards an uncertain future in a distant land, one can only imagine the fear and despair that must have consumed them.
This scene encapsulates the cruelty of transportation as a form of punishment, exiling individuals from their homes and forcing them into labor in far-off colonies like Australia. It serves as a poignant reminder of the injustices perpetrated by those in power against those deemed to be criminals.
Through this engraving, we are confronted with the harsh realities of justice and punishment in 19th-century Britain, shedding light on a dark chapter in history that should not be forgotten.
