An Archive Of Photographs Showing Flogging In The Pacific Region

(FLOGGING PHOTOGRAPHS). Archive. No date [circa 1910s]. No place [likely a place in the Pacific, perhaps the Philippines]. An archive of images showing corporal punishment for natives. Some of the men are bound and hooded, and some images show multiple lashings across their backs. There are sixteen photographs attached to three independent pages (they were probably removed from a larger album). Five photographs are hand-colored and the remainder are black and white. Two images show white men in Western dress, suggesting occupation. There are also a couple photographs of bamboo walls and grass huts, suggesting the South Pacific. A disturbing collection.
