EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to Japan before the revolution in 1895. The image showcases a significant aspect of Japanese history - the pillory, a symbol of confinement and punishment for criminals. The artist, Hildibrand, skillfully captures this scene with intricate details that bring the past to life. The pillory stands tall in its solemn presence, evoking a sense of fear and awe. Its wooden structure is meticulously engraved, showcasing the craftsmanship of the time. A criminal sits within its confines, his posture reflecting both resignation and defiance. This portrait offers us a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by those who transgressed societal norms during this era. As we contemplate this powerful image, we are reminded of Asia's diverse continent and Japan's unique cultural landscape. It serves as a reminder that every country has its own history and methods for dealing with crime. This monochrome print from "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" takes us on an immersive journey through time. Published by Virtue & Co. , Limited in London in 1895, it represents an invaluable historical document capturing Japan's 19th-century society. Thanks to E Ronjat, Elisee Reclus (the author), Hildibrand (the creator), we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from Heritage Images without any commercial use intentions but rather as an opportunity to reflect upon our shared human experiences throughout different periods of history.
