Prehistoric Justice - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Prehistoric Justice" takes us on a journey back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of our ancient ancestors. Created by an anonymous English artist from the 20th century, this colour lithograph captures a scene that is both intriguing and thought-provoking. In this image, we find ourselves in a prehistoric cave where justice is being served. The setting is raw and primitive, with rugged walls adorned with mysterious cave paintings. A group of men, clad in simple garments made of animal skins or leaves, stand before a stern-looking judge who presides over their fate. These early humans are captured at various stages of emotion - some appear defiant while others seem remorseful. The presence of law enforcement can be seen as well; police officers armed with truncheons maintain order among the accused individuals. One man stands out from the crowd - he is stripped naked as punishment for his crimes, serving as a stark reminder of the consequences faced by those who transgressed societal norms during this era. This postcard-sized artwork offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our own notions of justice and how they have evolved over time. It reminds us that even in prehistoric times when civilization was still taking shape, societies had established systems to maintain order and punish wrongdoers. With its rich historical context and vivid imagery, "Prehistoric Justice" serves as an engaging conversation piece that invites viewers
