EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing artwork titled "Iron Masks (engraving)" by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century. The engraving, now part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for the Illustrated Times on August 2nd, 1856. The image transports us to a time when iron masks were utilized as instruments of degradation and punishment. In this particular scene, we witness two women wearing these oppressive masks while being subjected to public humiliation. Their heads are encased in bridle-like contraptions adorned with bells that symbolize their scolding tongues. The setting is believed to be the Castle of Nuremberg, where such punishments were carried out during medieval times. The women's expressions reveal their anguish and shame as they stand before the town hall in Newcastle on Tyne. Preserved through history, this engraving serves as a reminder of past societal practices aimed at controlling and silencing outspoken individuals—especially women—who dared challenge societal norms or authority figures. It offers us a glimpse into humanity's dark past and prompts reflection on how far we have come in terms of human rights and equality. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical artwork without commercial intent but rather with an aim to appreciate its artistic value and preserve our collective memory.
