You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal.

It depicts the "red Star Inmates" -- women who are first offenders convicted of infantcide. They wear a red star on their sleeve to identify them. Surrounding the image of five of these women, is a long article explaining Female Convict Life at Woking Prison.

It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 21.5 x 15.75 inches (54.5 x 40 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. The back of this print has unrelated text/photos on the back.

The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.

The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
