Spanking illustration
From Spanking Art
A spanking illustration is an illustration (i.e. a drawing or other artwork made and published to accompany text) that shows a spanking scene. Spanking illustrations come different categories.
[edit] Child spanking illustrations
The oldest illustrations showing spanking scenes showed how pupils and novices were disciplined by their teachers at school. The illustration on the right is such an example. The drawing elucidates how in this Amsterdam institution in 1662, a delinquent was laid on a bench and had his head locked in place by some kind of wooden bar, while receiving a birching on his bared buttocks. (This illustration is also interesting because it shows an early piece of spanking furniture.)
From the mid-19th to the mid-20th century, people began to debate whether children should be spanked at all, or whether corporal punishment was too dishonoring. Publications of that time sometimes featured spanking illustrations, often in the popular form of humorous cartoons.
Norman Rockwell was one of the best-known illustrators who created fine illustrations for the weekly cover page of The Saturday Evening Post, more than one of which show a realistic rendering of a child spanking scene of the time.
[edit] Erotic spanking illustrations
In the first half of the 20th century, authors published printed spanking fetish stories (spanking novels) that featured spanking illustrations which were drawn by artists such as Louis Malteste. Many of these were published in France.
In the second half of the century, spanking magazines came up that regularly published illustrated erotic spanking stories, which became employers for spanking illustrators such as Eric Stanton.
