    Title: Beating: bamboo
    Information: Two slightly different model in the representation of beating with bamboo. The Chinese watercolor, even made for exportation, are more faithful to reality than the 3rd picture, reworked by the British engraver Dadley, who prudishly slipped a trouser on the convict's legs!
