dc.description.abstract |
During the eighteenth century, the Cape Colony developed into a violent society in every sense of
the word. The type of crimes committed by perpetrators, the sentences imposed by the colonial
authorities and the Court of Justice were equally violent. The depiction of the gallows by colonial
artists has provided scholars with new insights on South Africa’s past, especially with regard to the
increase in violence and the punishment faced by the condemned. |

dc.description.abstract |
Gedurende die agtiende-eeu het die Kaapkolonie ontwikkel in ’n geweldadige samelewing in elke
sin van die woord. Die tipe misdade wat gepleeg is deur oortreders en die strawwe wat opgelê is
deur die koloniale outoriteite en die Raad van Justisie was eweneens geweldadig. Die uitbeelding
van die galg deur koloniale kunstenaars, het navorsers voorsien van nuwe insigte aangaande die Suid-
Afrikaanse verlede, veral met betrekking tot die toename in geweld en die straf wat die veroordeeldes
in die oë gestaar het. |
