EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the inside view of the Poultry Compter, a historic prison located in the heart of City of London. Created by artist John Thomas Smith in 1813 but published almost a century later, this image offers a glimpse into the daily life within these walls. The scene depicts a bustling courtyard filled with people going about their business. The architecture of the buildings showcases medieval charm, transporting us to an era long gone. A dog roams freely among the crowd, adding a touch of liveliness to an otherwise somber setting. Poultry Compter served as a penitentiary for those who had run afoul of the law from medieval times until its closure in 1815. Its name derived from its location on Cheapside's Poultry section, which was known for its vibrant market activity during that period. Through this monochrome etching, we can almost feel the weight of history hanging heavy in every corner. It serves as a reminder of Britain's rich past and provides insight into how justice was administered during the nineteenth century. This remarkable piece captures not only architectural details but also echoes stories untold within these ancient walls. It stands as both an artistic representation and historical documentation—a testament to Sir Walter Besant's dedication to preserving London's heritage through his book "London - The City. "
