EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le gibet et le pilori" takes us back to 19th century France. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration for the renowned book "Histoire de France en Cent Tableaux" by Paul Lehugeur. Created around 1880 by an anonymous French artist, this piece showcases the dark realities of feudal society. The image depicts both the gibbet and the pillory, two instruments used for punishment during that era. These symbols of authority and control were often associated with public humiliation and execution. The intricate details in this engraving bring to life the historical significance of these structures. Through its monochromatic palette, this artwork transports us to a time when justice was harshly administered. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of human rights and criminal justice reform. Bridgeman Images has preserved this important piece from our past, allowing viewers to delve into history through art. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of France's rich heritage but also of the universal struggle for freedom and equality throughout Europe.
