Whipped By Seven Men

This illustration comes from a curious French volume published in 1909:

breast whipping

public whipping by seven men

There are two frontispieces with two titles:

Nana=Sahib: épisodes sanglants de l’insurrection des cipayes en 1857
(Nana=Sahib: bloody episodes of the Sepoy Rebellion in 1857)

and

Nana=Sahib: Martyrologe des femmes anglaises pendant l’Insurrection des Cipayes en 1857
Martyrology of English women during the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857

One of these is much more interesting, for our purposes, than the other!
