EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) showcases a postcard featuring convicts wearing iconic striped uniforms. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the world of justice and imprisonment in days gone by. In this antique postcard, a group of men can be seen standing in a perfectly aligned row, all donning their unmistakable striped outfits. These prisoners are captured with solemn expressions on their faces, perhaps reflecting the weight of their circumstances or contemplating their future behind bars. The presence of a guard adds an element of authority to the scene, reminding us that these individuals were under constant supervision during their confinement. It serves as a stark reminder of how society once dealt with those who had transgressed its laws. The design arts employed in this postcard demonstrate the commercial artistry prevalent at that time. The use of stripes as part of the prison uniform's visual identity is striking and instantly recognizable even today. Located within Lake County Museum, this historical artifact offers valuable insights into corrections practices and societal attitudes towards crime and punishment. As we observe these adults dressed uniformly in white-striped clothing, it prompts contemplation about our own criminal justice system and how it has evolved over time. This thought-provoking print serves as both an intriguing piece for collectors interested in graphic design history and as an educational tool for anyone seeking to understand the complex relationship between law enforcement and those incarcerated throughout history.
