EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled ""Devils would often lay hold of men and flog them. " Abbe Boileau" transports us to a haunting scene from the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, depicts a grim reality that once existed. In this image, we witness the cruelty and brutality inflicted upon men through corporal punishment. The illustration is based on Abbe Boileau's account in his book "A History of the Rod" which explores the practice of flagellation. Men are shown being held captive by devils who relentlessly whip and beat them with rods. This portrayal sheds light on a dark chapter in history when such punishments were deemed acceptable. The composition itself is visually striking, with its attention to detail and dramatic lighting adding depth to the narrative. Through digital cleaning techniques, this historical artwork has been preserved for future generations to reflect upon. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for both compassion and cruelty. It prompts us to contemplate how far society has progressed since those times while also acknowledging that remnants of such practices still exist today. As we gaze at this print captured by Bridgeman Images, let us not forget the importance of empathy and understanding in shaping a more compassionate world where such acts are relegated solely to history books.
