EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pillory at Charing Cross from Ackermanns Microcosm of London" takes us back in time to witness a scene of public humiliation and crowd spectacle. The image, captured by renowned artists Thomas Rowlandson and Augustus Charles Pugin, showcases the infamous pillory at Charing Cross during the 18th century. The pillory was a form of punishment where offenders were publicly exposed and restrained within wooden stocks. In this bustling crowd scene, we can almost feel the tension as onlookers gather around to witness the shaming of wrongdoers. The artists masterfully depict every detail - from the expressions on people's faces to their varied reactions - creating an immersive experience for viewers. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it is important to note that this photograph is not associated with any commercial use or company. Instead, it serves as a reminder of our past and how society has evolved over time in terms of justice and punishment. Brought to us by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print allows us to explore moments from history that shaped our present-day understanding. It invites contemplation about societal norms and raises questions about public humiliation as a means of correction. Through its vivid depiction, this artwork encourages reflection on our own values while reminding us never to forget where we came from.
