EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "PURITANS: PILLORY, 17th CENT" offers a glimpse into the strict enforcement of Puritan morality in colonial New England during the 17th century. The image depicts a scene where men and women, dressed in traditional Puritan attire with aprons and bonnets, are confined within the pillory - an instrument used for public punishment. The pillory was employed as a means to publicly shame individuals who violated Puritan laws or moral standards. In this print, we witness both men and women enduring this form of confinement as a consequence for their transgressions. Their faces express various emotions - some show remorse while others display defiance. This artwork provides valuable insight into the settlement period of New England when religious conformity was highly valued by the Puritans. It serves as a reminder of how societal norms were strictly enforced through physical punishment and public humiliation. Created in the 19th century as a lithograph based on historical events from over two centuries prior, this piece showcases not only artistic skill but also serves as an important historical document. It allows us to reflect upon our past and understand how different societies have approached matters of law, order, and morality throughout history.
