EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Lord Jeffreys, also known as the Hanging Judge, in 1830. The creator of this intriguing image remains unknown. Lord Jeffreys, born George Jeffreys in 1645, was a Welsh judge who received his education at Westminster School, Trinity College in Cambridge, and Inner Temple. He rose to prominence during the reign of King James II as the Lord Chancellor. Notorious for enforcing royal policy with severity and bias, Lord Jeffreys became synonymous with injustice and cruelty. His role in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 further tarnished his reputation. This engraving is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard. The portrait showcases a stern-looking man dressed in traditional attire of the era. With an air of authority surrounding him, it is evident that this figure played a significant role within British history during the late 17th century. Despite being associated with controversy and dark times in Britain's past, this photograph serves as a reminder of an influential individual whose actions shaped legal proceedings during that period. It invites us to reflect on how power can be wielded unjustly and reminds us to strive for fairness and impartiality within our own society today.
