EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, titled "Let Justice be Done" we are transported back to the year 1876. Painted by Charles Cooper Henderson, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures a moment of make-believe in a courthouse setting. The scene unfolds with great attention to detail, showcasing an interior filled with barrels and evidence as well as a diverse group of children playing various roles. At the center of the composition stands a young girl dressed as a judge, her serious expression mirroring that of real-life courtroom figures. To her left is another child portraying a lawyer, passionately arguing their case while holding up what appears to be crucial evidence. On the right side of the image, we see more children participating in this imaginative trial – some acting as witnesses or jurors. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, emphasizing its importance even within the realm of playacting. Through Henderson's brushstrokes, we witness these young minds engaging in their own version of justice – learning about fairness and judgment through creative exploration. This print serves not only as an aesthetically pleasing piece but also prompts us to reflect on our own understanding of justice and how it is shaped from childhood. It reminds us that even at such tender ages, children possess an innate curiosity for lawfulness and seek opportunities for growth through play.
