This one is by the German surrealist artist Max Ernst Illustration-from-Max-Ernst.jpg

This one shows females punished for theft by the Austrian military (unlike revolutionists they get to keep their bottom halves covered)

Three 18th century engravings, the first two are French and the third, showing both a man and a woman being flogged (equality!) is Russian. I wonder how many volunteered to be the guy with the half naked woman draped across his back...

A couple from the book: The Whip and the Rod by Prof. R.G. van Yelyr. He's a professor, so no prurient interest please; this is strictly scholarly, you naughty boys and girls....
Prof. R.G. van Yelyr is the pseudonym of George Ryley Scott, an English author of sexological books and works about torture, sadomasochism, and corporal punishment in the 1940s-60s.

I have his books "The History Of Corporal Punishment" (1938) and "The History of Torture Throughout the Ages" (1959) in PDF, and I can post them if you wish.
