EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating hand-coloured engraving by George Cruikshank that takes us back to the Regency era. In this intriguing scene, we find ourselves in the heart of an old-fashioned courtroom where justice is being served. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the bespectacled old maid seated at a round table, surrounded by barristers and clerks. With her cat perched on her lap, she exudes an air of confidence despite being an unusual presence in such a serious setting. The juxtaposition between her eccentricity and the formalities of law creates a whimsical atmosphere. As our eyes wander through this detailed composition, we notice other peculiar elements: grotesque figures adorning pillars, wigs atop heads of judges and counsel alike, and even weapons displayed prominently throughout the court. These curious details add depth to Cruikshank's depiction while hinting at societal norms and practices during that time. With its intricate engravings expertly brought to life with vibrant colours, this print transports us into a world long gone but forever immortalized within its frame. It serves as both a historical document capturing legal proceedings at the iconic Old Bailey and as an artistic expression showcasing Cruikshank's talent for storytelling through his illustrations. "The Old Maid and her Tom Cat at the Old Bailey" invites viewers to ponder upon themes like justice, tradition, social roles, and individuality – all
