EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a chilling scene from 16th century Paris - one of the many piloris that existed in the bustling city at the time. The pilori, or pillory, was a form of punishment and public humiliation used for centuries to discipline wrongdoers. In this image, we see a condemned individual standing in the pillory surrounded by an armed military guard and a curious crowd. The atmosphere is tense as justice is served and onlookers witness the consequences of criminal behavior. The condemned individual's fate hangs in the balance as they face their punishment with stoic resignation. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life the harsh realities of law enforcement during medieval times. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the brutal methods used to maintain order and enforce laws in society centuries ago. The gallows looming in the background serve as a stark reminder of what awaits those who dare to defy authority. This print serves as a haunting reminder of our past and how far we have come in terms of justice and human rights. It is a powerful depiction that evokes strong emotions and prompts us to reflect on our own values and beliefs surrounding punishment and retribution.
