EDITORS COMMENTS
This print offers a rare glimpse into the inside view of the Poultry Count, a London prison in Cheapside that operated from medieval times until 1815. Built shortly after the devastating Great Fire of London in 1666, this historic building served as a place of confinement and punishment for centuries.
The intricate copperplate engraving, drawn and etched by John Thomas Smith for his Topography of London in 1813, showcases the stark reality of life behind bars during this era. The image depicts a gatekeeper standing guard with keys in hand, emphasizing the strict security measures put in place to keep prisoners confined.
The detailed interior of the Poultry Count provides insight into the harsh conditions faced by inmates, highlighting the cramped quarters and lack of privacy within its walls. The somber atmosphere captured in this print serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships endured by those who found themselves on the wrong side of the law.
As we reflect on this historical representation of public architecture and incarceration practices from centuries past, we are reminded of how far society has come in terms of criminal justice reform. This print stands as a testament to both our progress and our continued efforts to strive for fairness and humanity within our legal system.
