Beating Cat O Nine Tails Prison Prisoner Whipping
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print titled "FLOGGING, 19th CENTURY" takes us back to the harsh realities of American prison life in the 1800s. The wood engraving captures a scene inside a dimly lit prison cell, where a group of men are witnessing an act of punishment. In the center, we see a prisoner with his hands tied to a post, his face contorted in pain as he endures the brutal beating. The image showcases the use of an instrument known as the cat o' nine tails - a whip with multiple knotted lashes that were used for flogging prisoners. The severity of this punishment is evident from the expressions on both the victim's face and those observing around him. Men with long beards stand by, their eyes fixed on this disturbing spectacle. This engraving serves as a haunting reminder of America's history and its treatment of prisoners during that era. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our past and consider how far we have come in terms of criminal justice reform. As part of Granger Art on Demand collection, this print allows us to delve into historical moments like these and gain insights into different aspects of society at various points in time.
