EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Henry Hawkins, 1st Baron Brampton (1817-1907), an English judge who served in the High Court of Justice between 1876 and 1898. Known for his stern and unyielding demeanor in the courtroom, Lord Brampton gained a formidable reputation as a 'hanging judge.' In this whimsical illustration by Terry Parker, Lord Brampton is portrayed seated at his bench, donning the traditional black robe and wig of a Victorian judge. Surrounding him are various men, each holding a sandwich, seemingly in anticipation of the judge's next sentence. The caricature's title, "Entracte," suggests a brief interlude or pause in the proceedings, adding a playful touch to the serious subject matter. Despite the lighthearted tone, the image conveys the gravity of the situation, with Lord Brampton's stern expression and the men's anxious expressions. The sandwiches, a common Victorian snack, serve as a reminder of the mundane aspects of daily life that even the most solemn courtroom cannot escape. The 1880s were a pivotal time in English legal history, and Lord Brampton's tenure as a judge during this period saw him hand down many harsh and severe sentences. This caricature offers a unique and humorous perspective on the man behind the judgments, revealing both the seriousness and the absurdity of the legal system during this era.
