EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving titled "Sentenced to transportation for life" captures the grim reality of 19th-century London. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases the devastating effects of alcohol on society. The scene unfolds at the Old Bailey, where a group of children stands in front of a judge's bench. Their young faces bear witness to lives marred by drink and its consequences. This poignant depiction serves as a reminder that even the most vulnerable members of society were not spared from the ravages of addiction. The engraving highlights the importance of temperance and abstinence movements prevalent during this era. It serves as a cautionary tale, urging viewers to consider the detrimental impact excessive drinking can have on individuals and their families. Transportation for life was seen as both punishment and opportunity for redemption. These children faced banishment from their homeland, forced into exile due to their association with alcoholism. The image evokes sympathy for these little ones who became victims themselves in a cycle perpetuated by adult vices. As we gaze upon this historical print, it prompts us to reflect on our own relationship with alcohol and how it affects those around us. It reminds us that every sip has consequences beyond our immediate gratification - consequences that may ripple through generations if left unchecked. This artwork is part of Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection held privately but made accessible through Fine Art Finder courtesy Bridgeman Images.
