EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "Mr Alexanders levee in the Kings Bench prison AD 1830" by Henry Gillard Glindoni, offers a fascinating glimpse into English history. The print showcases a lively gathering within the confinements of the notorious Kings Bench prison. Dated back to 1830, this depiction captures an extraordinary event that took place during Alexander's incarceration. Intriguingly, despite their circumstances, the prisoners and visitors are dressed in elaborate costumes, creating an atmosphere akin to a grand party rather than a correctional facility. This unique juxtaposition between imprisonment and revelry adds depth to our understanding of social dynamics during that era. Glindoni's attention to detail is evident as he masterfully portrays each character with precision and expression. Every face tells its own story – from the somber expressions of those confined behind bars to the animated conversations taking place among guests. This lithograph was originally featured in Cassell's History of England published around 1920. Its inclusion in this esteemed collection speaks volumes about its historical significance and artistic merit. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back in time – witnessing not only Mr Alexander's levee but also gaining insight into the customs and traditions of early 19th-century England. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly bleak circumstances, human resilience can manifest itself through moments of camaraderie and celebration.
