EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1829, capturing the imposing Penitentiary of Millbank in Westminster, London. The artist J Tingle and Thomas Hosmer Shepherd skillfully depict the grandeur of this architectural marvel that once stood on this very spot. Built in 1821, Millbank Prison served as a place of confinement for over six decades until its demolition in 1890. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a bustling scene outside the prison walls. A horse-drawn wagon trundles along the road, manned by hardworking laborers going about their daily tasks. Men from all walks of life can be seen here - some passing by with purposeful strides while others engage in conversations or carry out their professional duties. The towering presence of the penitentiary casts an ominous shadow over these individuals and reminds us of its primary function: to house those who have committed crimes against society. This image encapsulates both the concept of punishment and rehabilitation that were central to nineteenth-century British penal systems. Today, Tate Britain stands proudly on this historic site, serving as a testament to how our cities evolve through time while preserving fragments of their past. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to an era long gone but not forgotten – a reminder that even within concrete walls lies stories waiting to be discovered and shared with generations yet to come.
