EDITORS COMMENTS

"Unveiling the Tapestry of Justice: From Rowlandson's Contrast to Cranach's Allegory" In December 1792, as Thomas Rowlandson sketched The Contrast, a vivid portrayal of societal disparities, justice stood at a crossroads. High above the Old Bailey Law Courts in London, the Scales swung hesitantly, reflecting the weighty decisions made within its hallowed halls. England's legal foundation lay in Carta Magna (1212), an ancient manuscript that safeguarded principles still upheld today. Within the walls of Old Bailey, where barristers donned wigs and robes reminiscent of bygone eras, justice was dispensed with meticulous care. The Barrister on canvas embodied dedication and eloquence; his words resonated through centuries. In this realm where truth sought refuge from falsehoods and deceitful tongues were silenced, fairness prevailed. At Central Criminal Court - known as Old Bailey - the Scales held sway over countless trials that shaped lives forever. As they balanced evidence against innocence or guilt, they symbolized society's quest for equilibrium amidst chaos. Wandering into history’s corridors revealed glimpses into lawyers' sanctuaries at Royal Courts – bustling chambers where strategies were devised and cases meticulously prepared. Here resided wisdom passed down since 1545 when Reymerswaele captured The Lawyers Office on canvas. Justice transcended physical realms too; it found representation in Tarot cards depicting its essence alongside other universal truths. These cards whispered secrets only those attuned to their mystical language could decipher. Beyond criminal courts lay another domain – Court of Exchequer – where financial disputes met resolution under watchful eyes. Here accountability mingled with equity as wealth flowed through channels governed by law’s guiding hand. Yet justice was not merely cold impartiality; it embraced compassion and mercy too.
