1878 Beating Bulgaria Bulgarian Middle East Turkish Whip Whipping Bastinado
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FLOGGING, 1878. The Turkish bastinado" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured through the lens of a wood engraving in 1878, this image showcases the brutal practice of flogging during the late Ottoman Empire. The scene depicts a soldier clad in traditional Turkish attire, wielding a whip with authority and determination. His target is a Bulgarian man who finds himself at the mercy of this cruel punishment known as bastinado. The pain inflicted upon him is evident from his contorted face and clenched fists. Intriguingly, this image offers more than just an insight into one specific incident; it provides us with a glimpse into the social dynamics and power structures prevalent in that era's Middle East. The presence of other men observing the flogging suggests that such acts were not uncommon or isolated incidents but rather part of everyday life. The details captured by this wood engraving are remarkable - from the soldier's distinctive fez hat to the anguish etched on each individual's face. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation, shedding light on an aspect often overlooked or forgotten within our collective memory. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Granger Art on Demand, let us reflect on how far society has come since those times while acknowledging that there is still work to be done to ensure justice prevails for all individuals around the world today.
