"Exploring the Various Depictions of Spanking: From Historical Artworks to Comic Postcards" This collection of diverse images offers a glimpse into the different interpretations and contexts surrounding the act of spanking. Beginning with a color lithograph depicting a woman spanking her son, we are transported to Turkey's Constantinople, where the Sehzade Mosque stands as an architectural marvel. An engraving captures its grandeur, juxtaposing it with another image from Plate 527 that portrays a child being spanked in 1872-1885. Moving on, we encounter a drawing inspired by Hans Holbein The Younger's work, showcasing how this disciplinary action has been depicted throughout art history. In contrast, a comic postcard humorously depicts "The Father's Revenge on Daughter's Man, " adding an amusing twist to the theme. Shifting gears slightly, an engraving from "Le petit journal illustre" showcases a barrier guard saving a girl from danger but punishing her recklessness with a feast - highlighting society's complex approach to discipline. Continuing our exploration, we come across another color lithograph featuring gender roles reversed as a woman beats her husband with her shoe. This image challenges traditional power dynamics within relationships. Education also plays its part in punishment; an engraving from "La jeunesse" illustrates how teachers applied discipline in schools during 1886. Meanwhile, aboard ship in the 20th century, we find ourselves encountering yet another comic postcard featuring a pretty woman - perhaps suggesting that even amidst leisurely activities like travel, disciplinary actions persist. Lastly, we discover satirical elements through covers like "Le Grelot, " number 994 - offering biting commentary on societal norms and practices surrounding corporal punishment. Additionally featured is "L'ecole chretienne, " reminding us of religious education intertwined with disciplining methods. In this captivating journey through various mediums and time periods capturing moments of spanking or punishment, we are reminded of the multifaceted nature of this controversial topic.
