Description: | Plate from Richard Bridgens' 'West India Scenery?' It depicts two enslaved men who are being punished for a misdemeanour by being placed in stocks. This particular stock was designed so that when the offender was locked in there was a wooden plinth upon which to lie. Bridgens suggests that stocks like the one featured in the picture could also be useful when applying dressings and medicine to wounds. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Robert Jennings & Co. | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Bridgens, Richard | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
