Description

Louisa Caldreon (Luisa Caldreon) being tortured by Picket. Torture (but not the specific form) had been requested in writing by a local magistrate and approved in writing by General Thomas Picton, Louisa Calderon was tortured in December 1801. When this crime was perpetrated Louisa ... was of the tender age of ten or eleven... N.B. The picket, picquet or piquet was a form of military punishment in vogue in the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe. It consisted of the offender being forced to stand on the narrow flat top of a peg for a period of time. A much more severe and physically damaging suspension torture is known as Strappado.
