EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Female garotters" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London on a Boxing Night. The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into a dark and dangerous side of society during that era. In this scene from "The Days Doings" newspaper dated December 24,1870, we witness the audacious acts of female criminals known as garotters. These women were notorious for their pickpocketing skills and would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Clad in fashionable attire of the time, they cunningly roamed the streets seeking unsuspecting victims. The image captures one such moment where an attacker is seen strangling her victim with a garotte—a weapon commonly used during muggings at that time. It serves as a chilling reminder of the perilous nature of life in Victorian London. Through this artwork, we are transported to an era when crime lurked around every corner and survival meant being constantly vigilant. The engraving not only showcases the criminal activities prevalent during Boxing Night but also highlights how fashion was intertwined with these illicit pursuits. As we gaze upon this historic print from Bridgeman Images' collection, it reminds us to appreciate our modern-day safety while acknowledging the struggles faced by those who came before us in navigating treacherous city streets.
