1854 1874 Appeared Arthur Claiming Conviction Crowds Disappeared Final Fourteen Gather Hour Imprisonment Orton Roger Running Sentenced Surrounding Tichborne Trial Twelve Verdict Waiting Years Perjury


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the final hour of the Tichborne Trial, a historic legal case that gripped the world in the late 19th century. The scene unfolds on the streets of London, as the crowds eagerly await the verdict in the long-running trial of Mr. Arthur Orton. In 1854, Roger Tichborne, a wealthy Englishman, had disappeared at sea. Twelve years later, Orton, who had recently arrived in Australia, claimed to be the late Tichborne. The trial began in 1874, and for over a year, the British public followed the proceedings with bated breath. The image shows the intense anticipation of the crowd as they gather outside the Old Bailey Courthouse, the final decision in the case now imminent. The atmosphere is electric, with people of all ages and social classes united in their interest in the trial. The men in top hats and women in elegant dresses stand patiently, some holding parasols to shield themselves from the sun, while others lean against the railings or cling to the arms of friends. The conviction of Mr. Orton for perjury was a significant moment in the trial, marking the end of the deception and bringing closure to the Tichborne family and the British public. Orton was sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment, a harsh penalty for the time, reflecting the seriousness of the crime and the public's desire for justice. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when a single trial could capture the imagination of an entire nation and bring people together in their pursuit of truth and justice.
