Titled "PRISONERS IN THE STOCKS" this 19th-century wood engraving vividly depicts the harsh reality faced by criminals during that time.

These prisoners, clad in tattered garments, bear expressions of anguish and resignation as they endure their punishment. The artist's attention to detail brings forth the somber atmosphere surrounding these individuals. As we delve into history through this artwork, it becomes evident that crime was met with severe consequences during medieval times.
