Amidst the annals of history, the grueling process of racking, as depicted in the engraving 'The Torture of Cuthbert Simson, ' stands in stark contrast to the meticulous work of mining operations or the industriousness of a boy doing homework. Yet, the intricate design of the racking instrument, reminiscent of (20083935), mirrors the precision of modern machinery. In a different era, the Tower of London housed such instruments of torture, as illustrated in 'Instruments of Torture' from 'The History of Protestantism.
