The Stocks - A Glimpse into 17th Century Punishment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an engraving titled "The Stocks" by the English School from the 19th century. The image takes us back in time to witness a scene of public humiliation and punishment in colonial America, specifically Massachusetts, during the 17th century. In this historical depiction, we see a British criminal confined within the stocks, a wooden device used for restraining wrongdoers. The offender's legs are trapped between two planks while their head and hands protrude through holes. This form of punishment aimed to publicly shame individuals who had committed crimes against society. The engraving is part of Hezekiah Butterworth's renowned book "Young Folks History of Boston" published in 1881. Through this digitally cleaned image, we gain insight into how justice was administered during that era. As we delve into history through this artwork, it reminds us of the harsh realities faced by early settlers in New England and their strict adherence to English law. It also offers a glimpse into American culture at its inception and highlights the influence of European practices on colonial society. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our past and encourages reflection on how far we have come in terms of justice systems and societal norms since those times.
