EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Ending of the practice of compelling inmates in Portuguese prisons to wear hoods" captures a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this powerful image showcases the suppression of a cruel practice that prevailed within Portuguese prisons. The print depicts a group of prisoners standing together, their faces no longer hidden beneath oppressive hoods. The prison guards surrounding them appear stern yet contemplative, perhaps reflecting on the positive impact this change will have on both inmates and society as a whole. Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on March 2nd, 1913, this artwork sheds light on the efforts made towards improving conditions within Portuguese penitentiaries. It symbolizes progress and marks a turning point in how criminals were treated during that era. By removing these dehumanizing hoods from their heads, Portugal took a step forward in reevaluating its approach to punishment and rehabilitation. This lithograph serves as evidence of societal evolution and highlights the importance of respecting human dignity even within correctional institutions. Preserved within a private collection today, this thought-provoking print continues to remind us of past injustices while inspiring ongoing conversations about criminal justice reform worldwide.
