Delve into the depths of historical intrigue with the enigmatic term 'kerker.' A kerker, or cachot in French, was an ancient dungeon used for imprisonment, as depicted in Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Cachot. From the haunting etching, Carceri (Prison) IX, to the infamous Belle of New York, who graced various engravings and paintings in the 19th century, including works by Ellis & Walery and George W. Lederer, the kerker held a chilling allure. In The Lady Slavey by Louie Freear and The Belle of New York by Cs McLellan, the kerker served as a symbol of confinement and captivation, leaving us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the human condition.
