This print captures a scene from Samuel Butler's epic poem 'Hudibras', depicting the characters Hudibras and Ralpho confined in stocks as a form of public humiliation. The men are serenaded by a fiddler with a wooden leg, adding an element of whimsy to their dire situation.
Illustrated by Charlton Nesbit, an English wood engraver, this 19th-century artwork brings to life the 17th-century tale of crime and punishment in England. The intricate details in the engraving showcase the emotions of the characters - from Hudibras' stoic demeanor to Ralpho's resigned expression.
The composition is rich with symbolism, reflecting themes of justice, morality, and societal norms prevalent in Butler's satirical work. The inclusion of music adds another layer of complexity to the narrative, highlighting the contrast between punishment and entertainment.
