PUBLIC WHIPPING, 1868 - A Glimpse into America's Dark Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This haunting print captures a chilling scene from the year 1868 in New Castle, Delaware. The image showcases the last remnants of public punishment in one of the few states still practicing this cruel form of justice. Created by Earl Shinn, an American artist known for his detailed drawings, this contemporary wood engraving offers a glimpse into a time when brutality was openly displayed. The focal point is the public whipping post and pillory, standing tall against a backdrop of sturdy brick walls. Men are seen gathered around as spectators to witness this gruesome spectacle unfold. Among them stands a young girl, her innocent presence contrasting starkly with the cruelty unfolding before her eyes. The image evokes strong emotions as we confront our nation's past and reflect on how far we have come since then. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes at great cost and highlights the importance of human rights advancements over time. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from The Granger Collection, let us remember those who suffered under such practices and be grateful for the strides made towards compassion and fairness in our modern society.
