EDITORS COMMENTS
Chinese criminals wearing cangues, large wooden collars, stand outside the Viceroys Yamen in Tientsin (Tianjin), China, in 1901. This historic photograph captured by The Fine Art Photographers Co showcases a unique aspect of law and order during that time. The imposing building behind them served as both the Viceroys Yamen and a jail, symbolizing the authority of the ruling class. The men's attire reflects their status as prisoners, dressed in humble clothes that contrast with the grandeur of their surroundings. The cangues worn by these individuals were used as a form of punishment and restraint. These heavy wooden collars were placed around their necks to restrict movement and serve as a visible sign of their crimes. The discomfort caused by these contraptions was intended to humiliate offenders while also deterring others from engaging in criminal activities. This monochrome stereoscopic card offers us a glimpse into an era where justice was administered through physical punishment and public shaming. It serves as a powerful metaphor for crime and punishment during this period in Chinese history. Today, this image stands not only as evidence of past practices but also reminds us how far we have come in terms of human rights and rehabilitation within our modern penal systems.
