EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Secondary Punishments and Tickets of Leave" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the convict establishment in Australia. The image showcases various aspects of secondary punishments and tickets of leave, shedding light on this significant historical period. The print captures the topography of Rottnest Island, located off the coast of Western Australia. The coastline stretches out majestically, meeting the vast sea with its maritime allure. This coastal setting served as a backdrop for secondary punishments imposed upon convicts during that time. Fremantle and King George's Sound can be seen in the distance, reminding viewers of their importance as penal colonies. The shoreline reveals glimpses into convict life and laborious activities carried out under strict supervision. Tickets of leave were an integral part of this system, allowing convicts to work outside prison walls while still being subjected to certain restrictions. This engraving offers insight into how these tickets were implemented within the Australian landscape. As we delve deeper into this historic artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, it becomes evident that it holds immense value for those interested in understanding Australia's convict history. It serves as a visual testament to an era marked by punishment and reform while also highlighting the natural beauty surrounding these penal colonies.
