Title: Heindl
DocumentNature: Book illustration
Topic: Executioners 劊子手
Description: Heindl published 8 photos he fallaciously claimedto be shot by himself during his trip in 1910. They display lingchi and some decapitations. The lingchi is represented by a four pictures-set, and end with a non-related scene of cut off body lying on the ground . The decapitations seem to have no more relation. The writer's intent is to illustrate his thesis that executions done on the public road had no real deterrent effect.
