EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Japan during a tumultuous period between 1863 and 1868. The image, captured by Felice Beato, an English photographer of Italian origin, showcases a shocking scene of Japanese criminals being crucified and beheaded. The hand-colored albumen silver print brings out the vivid details of this haunting moment in history. It serves as a stark reminder of the brutal punishments that were once inflicted upon those who broke the law in Japan. Beato's composition skillfully captures the solemnity and gravity of this event. The juxtaposition of lifeless bodies against a backdrop of traditional Japanese architecture creates a powerful visual contrast. Each figure tells its own story - their faces etched with pain and despair. While it is important to acknowledge that this photograph may be distressing for some viewers, it also offers an opportunity for reflection on our shared human history. It reminds us how societies have evolved over time, leaving behind such extreme forms of punishment. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, let us remember not only the victims but also consider how far we have come in terms of justice and compassion within our modern legal systems.
