A glimpse into the world of bailiffs can be seen through various historical scenes and artworks. In Hogarth's Rake Plate 4, we are transported to Silverdale House on Hampstead Road in London, where a general view of the scene outside unfolds. The presence of a bailiff and writ suggests that legal matters are at play. Traveling across Europe, we find ourselves in Munich, Bavaria around 1885. Here, a bailiff sits on his Gantstuhl (a type of chair) in front of the majestic City Hall. This digitally restored reproduction captures the essence of an original 19th-century painting, although its exact date remains unknown. Moving back in time to approximately 1840, we encounter "A Seizure, " depicted through a black and white photograph or lithograph. This artwork provides insight into the actions taken by bailiffs during this era. Delving deeper into architectural designs from the Regency Era, both Gothic-style cottages and specifically designed bailiffs' cottages come to light. These plans and elevations showcase how these structures were intricately crafted with attention to detail for their intended purpose. Further exploring historical depictions, we stumble upon images portraying bailliage or tribunals presided over by kings' bailiffs. Wood engravings bring these scenes to life as they illustrate important legal proceedings during that time period. In more contemporary works such as Rawdon Crawley's color lithograph portrayal in distress at the hands or sketches depicting eviction campaigns in Ireland during different periods like 1870 AD – all provide glimpses into real-life situations involving these figures. From bustling streets outside grand houses to courtrooms filled with authority figures enforcing justice or carrying out evictions - each depiction offers us valuable insights into the role played by bailiffs throughout history.
