EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Chronicles of Newgate: Robert Ockham in the Pillory" takes us back to the 19th century. The image depicts a scene from Arthur Griffiths' book, Chronicles of Newgate, published in 1884. In this powerful illustration, we witness Robert Ockham enduring public humiliation as he stands confined within the pillory. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Ockham's predicament; his face etched with anguish and shame while onlookers gather around him. This portrayal serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by criminals during this era. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable. Every line and stroke adds depth to the narrative being portrayed. The use of black and white further enhances the somber mood, emphasizing both light and shadow throughout. As we gaze upon this historical print, it transports us into a world where crime and punishment were intertwined with daily life. It invites contemplation about justice systems past and present, prompting reflection on how society has evolved over time. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece that not only preserves history but also sparks curiosity about our collective human experience. This artwork serves as a testament to their dedication in bringing fine art prints into our homes for educational purposes and aesthetic pleasure alike.
