"Jack Sheppard's Irons Knocked Off in the Stone Hall at Newgate" is an iconic illustration by the renowned British artist George Cruikshank I (1792–1878), created as part of a series of images depicting the life of the infamous 18th-century English criminal, Jack Sheppard. The artwork is a visual representation of a pivotal moment in Sheppard's history, capturing the scene where Sheppard's leg irons are removed in the Stone Hall of Newgate Prison.

George Cruikshank, an influential figure in the world of British caricature and book illustration, was known for his social and political satire as well as for illustrating the works of Charles Dickens and other prominent authors of his time. His illustrations of Jack Sheppard, which accompanied a serialized novel by William Harrison Ainsworth, helped to mythologize the criminal and contributed to the romanticized image of Sheppard as a daring escape artist and folk hero.

The illustration "Jack Sheppard's Irons Knocked Off in the Stone Hall at Newgate" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its impact on popular culture and its reflection of societal attitudes towards crime and punishment during the early 19th century. Cruikshank's work is characterized by its detailed line work, expressive characters, and ability to convey narrative through visual means. This particular piece is an example of how art and literature intertwined to shape public perception and folklore.

The image is part of a broader cultural legacy that includes theatrical adaptations, ballads, and other works inspired by Sheppard's life and Cruikshank's illustrations. As such, it holds a place in the history of graphic storytelling and the development of the visual narrative in the context of 19th-century media.
