EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 1600s in Massachusetts Bay Colony, where Puritan justice prevailed. The image depicts a Puritan offender enduring public shame and punishment in the stocks. As an illustration from the 19th century, it beautifully captures the essence of this historic event. In this snapshot of colonial life, we witness a scene that reflects both religious fervor and strict adherence to law and order. The offender, belonging to the Protestant sect known as Puritans, is confined within the wooden stocks—a form of physical restraint used for public humiliation and deterrence. The village or town square serves as a backdrop for this solemn moment. Onlookers gather around, witnessing firsthand how transgressions against their deeply held beliefs are dealt with. This visual representation showcases not only the severity of punishment but also highlights societal values prevalent during that era. As we delve into history through this artwork, we are reminded of Salem's infamous witch trials and other instances where religion played a significant role in shaping society's norms. It serves as a reminder that crime was met with swift retribution by these early American colonists. With its rich heritage and traditional roots firmly embedded in North America's past, this poignant illustration stands as an important testament to our nation's history—showcasing how justice was dispensed during those early years in Massachusetts Bay Colony under Puritan rule.
