The Whipping-Post, Newgate
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that takes us back in time to the dark and haunting history of London's criminal justice system. Created by William Luker Jr. in 1891, this print offers a glimpse into the past through its intricate details and masterful execution. The image transports us to Newgate Prison, one of the most notorious penitentiaries in England during the 19th century. Standing tall and imposing, the whipping-post becomes the focal point of this scene. Its presence evokes a sense of fear and dread as we imagine the countless souls who endured unimaginable pain within its confines. Luker's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this historical setting to life. From the worn stone walls surrounding Newgate Prison to the onlookers peering from behind barred windows, each stroke captures both despair and curiosity. This lithograph originally served as an illustration for "London City" written by W J Loftie, providing readers with a visual representation of an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder that our society has come far from these brutal methods of punishment. As we gaze upon "The Whipping-Post, Newgate" we are reminded of how far humanity has progressed in terms of justice and compassion. It stands as a testament to our ability to learn from history while appreciating how much better our world has become since those days when such cruelty was commonplace.
