EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "Moorish Manners and Customs, a Barbarous Mode of Punishing a Woman" by Godefroy Durand depicts a haunting scene from the 19th century. The artwork, part of the private collection, captures the artist's interpretation of an illustration for The Graphic newspaper on September 28,1889. In this thought-provoking image, we are transported to the streets of Moorish culture where we witness a disturbing act of punishment inflicted upon a woman. The scene is filled with tension as onlookers observe in shock and horror at this barbaric mode of retribution. Durand's artistic skill shines through in his ability to convey emotions through intricate details. His use of light and shadow creates an eerie atmosphere that heightens our senses and draws us into the narrative unfolding before us. This engraving serves as both historical documentation and social commentary on the customs prevalent during that time period. It sheds light on practices that were considered acceptable within certain societies but would be deemed cruel by today's standards. As viewers, we are compelled to reflect upon our own cultural norms and question how far humanity has come in terms of gender equality and human rights. This powerful artwork challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths about our past while inspiring us to strive for progress in creating a more just society.
