EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in Newgate, the Burying-Ground" takes us on a journey back to 19th century London. The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist, offers a glimpse into the somber atmosphere of one of the city's most notorious landmarks - Newgate Prison. The image transports us to a time when prisons were not only places of confinement but also served as final resting grounds for those who met their demise within its walls. The Burying-Ground depicted here stands as a haunting reminder of the harsh realities faced by inmates during this era. As we study the intricate details captured in this engraving, we can almost hear echoes of despair and feel the weight of history upon our shoulders. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind these cold stone walls lie stories untold; tales of hardship, injustice, and lost souls seeking redemption. The Illustrated London News published this illustration on March 22nd, 1873. Its inclusion in such a prominent publication suggests that it aimed to shed light on societal issues surrounding prisons and provoke contemplation among its readership. Today, this powerful piece continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic prowess. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable work from their private collection for all to appreciate and reflect upon. Let us delve into its depths and allow ourselves to be transported through time as we explore Sketches in Newgate, the Burying-Ground.
