About this work

A sepia-toned print shows a seated bearded prisoner with his head and hands locked in a wooden pillory against a stone wall, while a group of onlookers in medieval dress, including a woman holding a child, gazes at him. Below the scene, a strip of small illustrations depicts other punishments such as stocks and restraints, with text in German and French. The work is titled Merkwuerdige Strafarten, welche ehemals im Elsass angewandt wurden, attributed to Charles Spindler.
