EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate illustration by George Cruikshank, taken from the book "The Ingoldsby Legends or Mirth and Marvels" published in 1865. The artwork depicts a haunting scene from the legend of Netley Abbey in Hampshire. In this chilling tale, a victim is subjected to a horrifying fate - being bricked up alive within the walls of the abbey. The image captures the moment of incarceration, as the unfortunate individual is forced into a small hole in the wall, with bricks meticulously placed around them. The despair on their face is palpable, reflecting their impending doom. Cruikshank's masterful strokes bring this macabre legend to life, showcasing his talent for capturing emotions through art. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brick seems to hold its own weight and significance in sealing off any hope of escape. The presence of monks and an abbot adds an eerie atmosphere to the composition. Their cold indifference towards their victim suggests that this act may be part of some dark ritual or punishment within these hallowed grounds. As viewers gaze upon this evocative illustration, they are transported back in time to witness this harrowing event unfold before their eyes. It serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for cruelty and our fascination with legends that blur fact and fiction. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction ensures that admirers can appreciate Cruikshank's work for years to come while delving into the depths of Hampshire's
