EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Trial of Madeleine Smith in 1857, a moment that forever remains shrouded in suspicion. Painted with watercolors on paper and presented as a photograph, this artwork by the English School from the 19th century is now part of a private collection. The trial took place in the sensational High Court of Edinburgh, within the Scottish judicial system. The courtroom depicted here exudes drama and tension, with an intense atmosphere permeating every corner. The public gallery is filled with curious spectators eager to witness this scandalous event unfold. Madeleine Smith herself stands accused of poisoning her lover Emile L Angelier, although she was never proven guilty. This controversial case has always left lingering doubts about her involvement in the crime. A barrister passionately presents his arguments before a jury carefully chosen to determine justice. This image offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's fascination with scandal and its thirst for justice. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined law and morality were during that era. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to an age where courtrooms held immense power over people's lives and reputations hung precariously on verdicts reached.
