1867 Allegory Blindfold Equality Hollow Justice L Aw Personified Plaits Scales Stability Symbolise
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Justice Personified," is a powerful and enduring symbol of the rule of law and the pursuit of fairness and equality. Dating back to 1867, this historical print depicts the goddess of Justice, elegantly dressed in a flowing robe, holding the iconic scales in her left hand. The scales represent the balance and even-handedness that is essential for a just society. In her right hand, she holds a sword, symbolizing the authority and power to enforce the law and maintain stability. The allegory of Justice is further emphasized by her blindfold, which signifies impartiality and the absence of favoritism or prejudice. Her plaited hair, a common attribute of the goddess, represents wisdom and the interconnectedness of all things. This image, which is part of the rich historical record available through Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of justice and the principles it embodies. It is a testament to the resilience of these ideals throughout history and their continuing relevance in our modern world. The hollow-eyed, solemn expression on Justice's face underscores the gravity and importance of her role in upholding the law and maintaining social order. As we reflect on the significance of this powerful image, we are reminded of the importance of remaining committed to the pursuit of justice, equality, and fairness, both in our personal lives and in the larger society. The scales of justice may be balanced, but the work of maintaining that balance is an ongoing and essential endeavor. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a powerful reminder of the enduring importance of the principles it represents.
