EDITORS COMMENTS
Reading Gaol, Berkshire, England, 1844. This print takes us back to the Victorian era, offering a glimpse into the imposing exterior of Reading Gaol. Built in 1844 following the design of Pentonville's model prison, this architectural marvel boasted four wings connected by a central Inspection Hall. With approximately 520 cells spread across three tiers, each equipped with essential amenities such as hammocks, stools, tables, gas lights, wash basins and water closets. The intricate wood engraving beautifully captures the surrounding landscape adorned with lush trees and plants that soften the austere atmosphere of confinement. Amongst these natural elements stands an unexpected visitor - a curious cow grazing peacefully nearby. This image not only showcases the impressive architecture but also serves as a poignant reminder of society's struggle with crime during that time period. It invites contemplation on themes of law enforcement and punishment prevalent in Oscar Wilde's later work "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" inspired by his own experience within these very walls. As we delve into this monochromatic masterpiece created by an unknown artist from The Illustrated London News archives dating back to February 17th, 1844; we are transported to a different era where nature intertwines with man-made structures while reflecting upon societal issues that transcend time.
