STOCKS, 1877 - A Glimpse into Colonial Confinement
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "STOCKS, 1877. The way of the world" offers us a fascinating insight into the harsh realities of colonial America. Depicting an engraving after a painting by S. E. Waller, this image transports us back to a time when punishment was public and often brutal. The scene unfolds in an exterior setting, where we find ourselves confronted with a man wearing a tricorn hat trapped within the stocks. This iconic form of punishment involved placing one's feet and hands through wooden holes, rendering them immobile and exposed to public ridicule. As we examine this historical snapshot further, our attention is drawn to the presence of geese casually wandering nearby. Perhaps they serve as silent witnesses to this spectacle or symbolize freedom contrasting with confinement. The meticulous detail captured in this engraving allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind it and its ability to transport viewers back in time. The artist's skillful execution brings forth emotions ranging from sympathy for the punished individual to curiosity about society's values during that era. Granger Art on Demand presents yet another remarkable piece from their collection that not only educates but also sparks contemplation about our shared history. Through prints like these, Granger enables us to explore different facets of human experience while preserving important moments for generations to come.
