"Acquitted: Portraits of Justice and Controversy" Step into the world of intriguing trials and controversial verdicts with these captivating engravings and illustrations. From Ethel Le Neve's portrait to Marguerite Steinheil anxiously awaiting her fate, each image tells a story of acquittal. In Madeleine Smith's engraving from 1857, we witness the gripping tale of a woman accused of poisoning her lover. The tension is palpable as the jury deliberates her innocence or guilt. The Condition of Armenia engraving sheds light on a different kind of trial - one faced by an entire nation. It captures the struggle for justice in a land plagued by turmoil, where acquittal means hope for a better future. Vera Zassulitch's engraved image takes us back to Russia in 1878 when she attempted to assassinate General Trepov. Her subsequent acquittal sparked debates about political motives and individual rights. But not all stories end happily. In The Drunkard's Son engraving, we witness the heart-wrenching moment when a young man is sentenced to transportation for life, despite his mother's plea for mercy. Sir John Barleycorn also finds himself on trial in two separate engravings - The Arraigning and Indicting of Sir John Barleycorn, Knt. , and The Whole Trial and Indictment of Sir John Barleycorn, Knt. These satirical pieces explore society's complex relationship with alcohol through personification. Warren Hastings' portrait reminds us that even high-ranking officials can face accusations. As Governor General of India, he stood trial for corruption but ultimately found himself acquitted amidst controversy. Moving forward in time, Paul Deroulede and Marcel Habert experience their own momentous acquittal at the Paris Assize Court captured vividly in color lithography. Their case becomes emblematic of political tensions during this era.
