Key item features

  • Title: Whipping John Of Islington, 1748
  • Description: Print shows an interior view of a room in which a man holds a bare-bottomed woman with a pained look on her face on his back as another woman holds up the woman's dress and points to her naked backside; a man, Whipping John, prepares to apply a bundle of rushes, the lash, to her exposed posterior. In the background, peeping in at the door, stands another man deriving gratification from the scene.
  • Subjects: Relations between the sexes--England--1740-1750, Whipping--England--1740-1750, Women--Punishment & torture--England--1740-1750
  • Collection: Cartoon Prints, British. The cartoon prints (approximately 8,500 distinct images) in the British Cartoon Prints Collection were published primarily between 1780 to 1830, an era dominated by the prodigious talents and prolific efforts of such famous caricaturists as James Gillray and George Cruikshank. The cartoons highlight aspects of British political life, including tensions with its colonies and other nations, as well as society, fashion, manners, and theater.
