EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wards in Chancery" takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of women seeking justice within the legal system. The engraving, created by John Morgan in 1880, showcases a scene filled with emotion and determination. In this image, we see a group of young women gathered inside a grand chancery courtroom. They are surrounded by imposing desks where judges preside over their cases. These wards, as they were known at the time, have come seeking allowances from their estates or pleading for their rights to be recognized. The experiences etched on these ladies' faces tell stories of hardship and resilience as they navigate through an inexorable legal system. Their hopes rest upon the barristers who stand beside them, ready to defend their cause against any adversity. It is striking to witness these brave women engaging with lawyers and magistrates - roles traditionally dominated by men - challenging societal norms in pursuit of justice. This engraving captures not only their struggle but also highlights the strength and determination that lies within each woman present. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images, it serves as a reminder of how far society has progressed since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving gender equality within our legal systems worldwide.
