EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration portrait captures the infamous figure of George Jeffreys, 1st Baron of Wem, also known as Judge Jeffries. Born in 1648 and passing away in 1689, he was an English judge notorious for his cruelty and corruption. Serving as both Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice of England, Jeffreys held significant power during his time. The image is a vertical print from the book "Crabbs Historical Dictionary" published in 1825 by Ken Welsh. It showcases the stern countenance of Judge Jeffries, capturing his authoritative presence. The portrait emphasizes his position with a regal air while hinting at the darkness that surrounded him. Judge Jeffries' reputation stems from his involvement in the infamous Bloody Assizes following the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685. His brutal treatment of rebels earned him notoriety throughout history. This image serves as a reminder of this dark chapter within English judicial history. Ken Welsh's skillful depiction brings to life this controversial historical figure who symbolizes abuse of power and lack of moral integrity within the justice system. As we gaze upon this haunting portrait, we are reminded to remain vigilant against corruption and cruelty wherever they may arise.
