EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the haunting solitude of Millbank Prison in Pimlico, London, circa 1860. The image depicts a prisoner diligently making shoes within the confines of his single cell. This powerful visual serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by inmates under the separate system operated at this notorious prison. Millbank Prison, which once stood on the very grounds that now house Tate Britain art gallery, was demolished in 1890. However, through this archival photograph captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we are transported to an era where confinement and isolation were commonplace. The engraving-like quality of this image adds depth and texture to its historical significance. We see a rear view of the prisoner sitting on a stool with intense focus and determination etched onto his face. He is alone - one man among many who endured their sentence behind these cold walls. As we gaze upon this solemn scene, it becomes evident that this photograph not only captures an individual's struggle but also represents a larger narrative about justice and punishment during that era. It reminds us of our collective responsibility to reflect upon past practices while striving for more humane approaches within our modern prison systems. Intriguingly composed and expertly preserved over time, this print invites contemplation about societal progress while serving as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity.
