This is a picture of a man who is about to be executed using the execution device called the garrote.
The garrote is an execution device that is documented to have been used in the first century BC Rome. This torture method found its way into modern history.
The condemned would sit with a metal clap wrapped around his neck before the executioner turned the screw that would theoretically burst his brainstem, killing him instantly.
“THE WHITE MAN is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.”
― THINGS FALL APART (1958)
