EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "How criminals are treated abroad" offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of punishment and imprisonment in early 20th century England. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this colour lithograph captures the contrasting methods employed to discipline criminals across different countries. The image showcases two distinct scenes side by side. On one hand, we witness prisoners enduring grueling hard labor while being subjected to the infamous cat o' nine tails in England. This depiction highlights the severity of corporal punishment prevalent during that era. On the other hand, we see German guards overseeing prisoners confined within a treadmill-like structure, shedding light on their unique approach to incarceration. Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on November 3rd, 1907, this artwork provides commentary on how Apaches (a term used to describe criminals) were treated abroad. It serves as a reminder of the diverse approaches nations took towards maintaining law and order during that time. Through this thought-provoking piece, viewers are transported back in time to reflect upon past practices and consider how criminal justice systems have evolved over the years. The juxtaposition between these contrasting methods invites contemplation about societal attitudes towards crime and punishment across Europe at that period. This intriguing print is part of a private collection and is made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform for educational purposes only.
