EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Stroud, the notorious cheat, whipped at the Cart's Tail from Charing Cross to Whitehall" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print depicts a scene of punishment and justice during Queen Anne's reign. The image showcases Stroud, a well-known cheat, enduring a brutal whipping as he is dragged along from Charing Cross to Whitehall. This public spectacle was intended not only as retribution for his crimes but also as a deterrent for others who might consider engaging in similar deceitful acts. With its digitally cleaned details and vibrant colors, this artwork brings forth the harsh reality of corporal punishment and cruelty that existed within legal systems of the past. The flagellants' whips are raised high above their heads while Stroud bears the consequences of his actions with each lash upon his exposed back. William M Cooper's book "A History of the Rod" likely served as inspiration for this illustration. It sheds light on society's fascination with flagellation and its use as both punishment and means of control. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of humanity's complex relationship with justice throughout time – where pain was inflicted publicly to serve as a reminder that cheating would not be tolerated.
