EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by George Cruikshank depicts a scene of punishment and amusement in Santiago, Cape Verde in 1828. The image showcases a militia dragoon who has been disciplined by the Royal Navy for striking a coxswain with his sword. In an act of humiliation, the cavalryman and his donkey are suspended from ropes attached to the main yard-arm of a frigate, while English sailors and officers observe with laughter. The satirical drawing titled "A militia dragoon punished in Santiago, Cape Verde" offers a glimpse into the dynamics between military forces during this time period. It highlights both the power wielded by the Royal Navy as well as their ability to publicly shame those who transgressed against them. Cruikshank's handcoloured lithograph is part of his series called "Greenwich Hospital: A Series of Naval Sketches" which was published in London in 1826. The artist effectively captures not only the physical punishment endured by the dragoon but also emphasizes the mockery he faces from onlookers. This artwork serves as a reminder of historical corporal punishments within military contexts and provides insight into social dynamics between different armed forces during this era.
