Judicial Caning In The Punishment Stocks

I can’t identify the uniforms in this severe caning scene, but I imagine it’s a judicial punishment in progress. The spanking bench conveniently outfitted with wooden pillory-style restraints speaks to me of an institution that dishes out quite a lot of this sort of discipline:

Update: the Spanking Art wiki has a smaller version with an original caption in German that seems to confirm this punishment is taking place at a police station:

    It seems like not much is known about this artist, but a bunch of her stuff seems to have been published in the 1920s and/or 1930s.
