EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A poll on a pole" takes us back in time to an era of infamous crimes and notorious individuals. Created by the talented artist Hablot Knight Browne, also known as Phiz, this print is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of criminal history. The image portrays a scene from The Chronicles of Crime or The New Newgate Calendar, written by Camden Pelham. It depicts a head mounted on a pole, symbolizing the aftermath of heinous acts committed by criminals who met their fate at the hands of justice. This hauntingly detailed illustration showcases Phiz's exceptional skill in capturing emotions and telling stories through his art. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to an era where crime was rampant and public punishment was common. It serves as a reminder of our collective fascination with dark tales and our desire for justice to prevail. This particular piece is part of a private collection but has been made available for all to appreciate thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its historical significance combined with Phiz's artistic prowess make it not only visually stunning but also intellectually stimulating.
