EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "St Marys Island, the Scene of the Commencement of the late Convict Revolt" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal event that unfolded on St Marys Island, Kent. The scene depicts a prison riot and convict revolt that occurred during this time period. The image showcases the chaos and intensity of the uprising as prisoners clash with authorities along the banks of River Medway. The composition is filled with tension and movement, reflecting the desperation and determination of those involved. This historical illustration was originally published in The Illustrated Times on March 2nd, 1861. It offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in criminal justice history, shedding light on issues such as prison conditions and social unrest during that era. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving serves as a reminder of past struggles for freedom and justice. Its inclusion within Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance as an educational tool. As we observe this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time while providing valuable insights into our shared human experience.
