EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing artifact from the 19th century - an Asylum ring. The large iron ring, adorned with the head of an animal, was prominently displayed on the doors of churches and served as a symbol of refuge for criminals seeking asylum. In those times, justice would come to a halt when a criminal managed to enter this sacred space. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of this historical object, evoking curiosity and contemplation. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the stories behind each individual who sought sanctuary within these church walls. The significance of this asylum ring lies in its representation of a bygone era's customs and traditions. It serves as a reminder that even in times when lawlessness prevailed, there were still places where hospitality and compassion reigned supreme. Through intricate engraving techniques, the artist brings attention to every detail on this remarkable piece - from the sturdy iron material to the fierce animal head design. This photograph not only preserves history but also invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as escape, defense, and humanity's eternal quest for justice. Overall, this mesmerizing print is both visually striking and intellectually stimulating. It offers us a glimpse into our past while encouraging us to ponder how societies have evolved over time in their approach towards crime and punishment.
