"The Gallows Ghost (Illustration for Meinhold's 'The Amber Witch')" is a notable work by the British artist Sir Philip Burne-Jones, Bt, who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This artwork serves as an illustration for the novel "The Amber Witch" by Wilhelm Meinhold, which was first published in 1838 and later translated into English. Meinhold's story, presented as a historical novel, is a witchcraft narrative set during the time of the Thirty Years' War, and it gained considerable popularity in Victorian England after its translation.

Sir Philip Burne-Jones, born on October 2, 1861, and passing on June 21, 1926, was the son of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones. He followed in his father's artistic footsteps, becoming well-known for his paintings, which often explored themes of fantasy and the supernatural. "The Gallows Ghost" is a testament to Burne-Jones's fascination with such themes, as it depicts a spectral figure associated with the dark and eerie elements of Meinhold's tale.

The illustration captures the haunting atmosphere of the novel, with the ghostly apparition likely representing one of the story's pivotal moments where the supernatural intersects with the human world. Burne-Jones's work is characterized by its attention to detail, use of color, and ability to convey mood, all of which are evident in this piece. The artwork not only contributes to the visual interpretation of Meinhold's narrative but also reflects the Victorian era's preoccupation with gothic and romantic literature.

"The Gallows Ghost" is an example of how art and literature intertwine, with Burne-Jones's illustration contributing to the legacy of "The Amber Witch" by providing a visual dimension to the written word. This work is part of Sir Philip Burne-Jones's broader oeuvre, which, although overshadowed by his father's fame, remains significant for its exploration of the mystical and the macabre in Victorian art.
