"Flogged: A Glimpse into the Dark History of Corporal Punishment" Step back in time to witness the haunting echoes of a brutal past. From the chilling "Flogging Coolie 1886" to the somber "The Column of Flagellation at the Basilica di Santa Prassede, " these historical depictions reveal a world where pain and suffering were inflicted upon others. In "The Flagellation, c. 1598 (oil on canvas), " an artist's brush strokes capture the raw agony etched on a victim's face, reminding us of the physical torment endured by those who fell under this cruel punishment. Meanwhile, "As in the olden days: a young woman flogged in a public square (colour litho)" transports us to an era when justice was served with public humiliation. Scenes from around the world come alive through vivid engravings like "German mistreatment of prisoners of war: captured Greek volunteers in the French Army being flogged, World War I, 1915 (colour litho). " These images shed light on how power imbalances allowed for such atrocities to occur. Even servants were not spared from this dehumanizing practice as depicted in "The punishment of servants (engraving). " It serves as a stark reminder that social status did not exempt one from enduring physical pain at their master's whim. Unsettling illustrations such as "Punishment of two black female slaves, 1811 (coloured engraving)" expose another dark chapter where racial oppression intersected with corporal punishment. The scars left behind remind us that freedom was often overshadowed by brutality during those times. Not limited to criminals or slaves alone, even accused individuals faced merciless lashings. An illustration depicting "a man accused of attempted garrotting being subjected to flogging" reveals how accusations alone could lead to severe consequences without proper evidence or fair trials. Yet amidst these harrowing scenes, there is a glimmer of resistance.
