In 1895 Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour on the charge of gross indecency. Behind this cell door Wilde wrote De Profundis as a letter to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, on his allocated four sheets of paper per day. This is a drawing of his actual cell door - cell C.3.3 - from Reading Gaol.
