EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lithograph print captures a humorous and historical scene from the early 20th century - The Pillory. Illustrated by Arthur Moreland for "The Comic History of Sport," this image depicts a comical moment in sporting history.
The pillory was a form of punishment used in medieval times, where offenders would be locked into a wooden framework with holes for their head and hands, exposed to public ridicule and sometimes pelted with objects. In this light-hearted illustration, Moreland brings a touch of humor to this once serious practice.
The detailed artwork showcases the artist's skill in capturing facial expressions and body language, adding to the overall comedic effect. The characters portrayed seem to be engaging in some sort of sporting event involving the pillory, creating an amusing juxtaposition between punishment and leisure activity.
As we look at this piece through a modern lens, we can appreciate it not only as a work of art but also as a window into the past - offering insight into how society viewed entertainment and punishment during that time period. This print serves as both an entertaining visual narrative and a reminder of our ever-evolving cultural norms.
