The Belman of London, 1608 - Shedding Light on the Dark Streets
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This woodcut print titled "The Belman of London, 1608" takes us back to the bustling streets of Elizabethan England. The image serves as a title page for Thomas Dekker's tract, exposing the cunning scams orchestrated by criminals and rogues that plagued the city during this era. In this scene, we see a watchful dog accompanying a vigilant town crier or belman as he patrols through cobblestone streets illuminated only by lantern light. Armed with his trusty spear and bell, he stands as a symbol of law and order in an otherwise darkened world. The intricate details within this artwork transport us to an age where crime was rife and citizens had to be cautious at all times. The message inscribed on the print reminds readers to remember their clocks while urging them to secure their locks tightly against potential threats. With its rich historical context, this woodcut captures not only the essence of life in Tudor-era London but also sheds light on early forms of policing and law enforcement. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness, there were brave individuals like the belman who dedicated themselves to maintaining peace within the city walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time - witnessing both the challenges faced by society then and appreciating how far we have come today in ensuring our safety and security.
