EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th-early 20th century, specifically between 1926 and 1927, when Newgate Prison still stood tall in London. Once a notorious penitentiary, this imposing building was eventually demolished in 1902. The image is an illustration from the renowned publication "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press. The photogravure showcases the exterior of Newgate Prison, capturing its grandeur despite its dark history. This monochrome depiction highlights the architectural details of the prison's facade while evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue surrounding its past. Newgate Prison played a significant role in British crime history as it housed some of England's most infamous criminals throughout the centuries. Its presence within London's cityscape served as a constant reminder of law enforcement and punishment for those who dared to break society's rules. Although no longer standing at the time this photograph was taken, Newgate Prison remains etched into Britain's collective memory as an emblematic symbol of justice and retribution. This print allows us to glimpse into a bygone era when crime and punishment were intertwined with everyday life. As we observe this historical artifact today, we are reminded not only of Newgate Prison but also of Arthur St John Adcock’s contribution to preserving our cultural heritage through his editorship on "Wonderful London.
