EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1855. Gerards Hall, a hidden gem tucked away on Basing Lane, serves as the focal point of this intriguing composition by Percy William Justyne. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent staircase leading down to Gerards Hall's crypt. But there is more than meets the eye in this snapshot frozen in time. A medieval prisoner, bound tightly to a column, stands as a stark reminder of an era long gone. The captive's presence evokes feelings of curiosity and sympathy for those who suffered within these walls. As we examine every detail meticulously captured by Justyne's skilled brushstrokes, our attention shifts towards a warder descending the stairs with purpose and authority. This glimpse into their daily routine offers insight into the profession that governed life within these prison walls. The watercolor medium brings vibrancy and depth to this historic scene, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in its atmosphere. We can almost hear echoes of footsteps echoing through Basing Lane as we imagine what life was like during this tumultuous period. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork not only showcases Justyne's talent but also provides us with a window into London's past—a testament to how art can transport us across centuries and connect us with stories long forgotten.
