EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "LONDON: PILLORY, c1810" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of early 19th century London. The artwork, created by renowned artists Augustus Pugin and Thomas Rowlandson, showcases the infamous Pillory at Charing-Cross. The Pillory was a form of punishment used in England for centuries. It consisted of a wooden framework with holes for the head and hands, where criminals were publicly displayed and humiliated as a means of deterrence. This particular scene captures the essence of this practice, with an array of people gathered around witnessing the spectacle. The detailed depiction allows us to observe not only the architecture but also the diverse crowd that has assembled on this street corner. From well-dressed gentlemen to curious onlookers from all walks of life, it is evident that public punishments were significant events that drew attention from both locals and visitors alike. As we gaze upon this historic image, we can't help but reflect on how far society has come since those times. The pillory may now be confined to history books and museums; however, its presence in this print serves as a reminder of our collective journey towards more humane forms of justice. This print from Granger Art on Demand offers us an opportunity to explore London's past while appreciating the artistic talents behind its creation.
