Adulterers Being Stoned And Hung In Turkey In The Nineteenth Century - A Glimpse into a Dark Chapter of History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This haunting print from 1878, captured by Ken Welsh and published in El Mundo En La Mano, takes us back to the cruel practices that prevailed in Turkey during the nineteenth century. It depicts a scene of unimaginable brutality - adulterers being stoned and hung as punishment for their transgressions. The image serves as a stark reminder of the harsh consequences faced by those who dared to defy societal norms at that time. Adultery was considered a grave crime, and this photograph offers an unsettling glimpse into the severity with which it was dealt. As we observe this historical artifact, we are confronted with conflicting emotions; horror at witnessing such cruelty and fascination with understanding how societies have evolved over time. It prompts us to reflect on our own progress towards more humane ways of dealing with moral transgressions. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to bear witness to this dark chapter in history while also serving as a testament to the power of photography as an instrument for documenting human experiences. Through his lens, he immortalizes these tragic moments forever etched in our collective memory. Let this poignant image serve as a constant reminder that progress is not always linear, urging us to strive for compassion and justice in all aspects of society today.
