Verdict in the Flogging Case - A Glimpse into Military Justice
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Verdict in the Flogging Case" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this print offers a window into military justice of that era. The scene depicted showcases a courtroom setting where John White, the central figure, anxiously awaits his fate. The tension is palpable as members of the court deliberate on whether he should face flogging or not. Every detail is meticulously captured - from the stern expressions on their faces to White's apprehensive posture. Published in The Pictorial Times on August 8th, 1846, this illustration sheds light on an important social issue prevalent at that time - corporal punishment within military ranks. It serves as a poignant reminder of how justice was administered and questioned during those times. As we observe this historical artwork today, it prompts us to reflect upon our own notions of justice and how they have evolved over centuries. This print invites viewers to contemplate the impact such verdicts had on individuals like John White and raises questions about fairness within legal systems. Preserved within private collections for years before being made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving allows us to delve into history while appreciating its artistic merit.
