Beating Middle East Tunisia Turban Whipping Bastinado
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print from Granger Art on Demand captures a haunting scene from the 19th century, depicting the brutal practice of flogging in Tunisia. The wood engraving, created in the mid-19th century, showcases the harrowing punishment known as bastinado being administered to men in traditional turbans and fez hats. The image transports us to a time when such forms of corporal punishment were prevalent in parts of the Middle East. The starkness of black and white adds an element of raw intensity to this historical moment frozen in time. In this scene, we witness men subjected to merciless beatings with whips or rods on their bare feet. This form of torture was commonly used as a means of discipline or control during that era. The pain inflicted upon these individuals is palpable through their contorted expressions and strained postures. As viewers, we are confronted with the harsh reality faced by those who suffered under such cruel practices. It serves as a reminder not only of our collective history but also highlights the importance of progress and human rights advancements made since then. This print allows us to reflect on past injustices while appreciating how far society has come in terms of recognizing and respecting human dignity.
