Edition 15 of The Executioners Dungeon Playset. The Guillotine 1792-1977.
Dr. Joseph Ignace Guillotin didn't invent the execution machine that bears his name.
A similar device, The Halifax Gibbet had been in use in Yorkshire from 1286 to 1650. It was noticed by a Scotsman, James Douglas, Earl of Morton, who had one built in Edinburgh in 1556, & remained it in use until 1710.
There is credible records of an execution by a similar machine in Milan in 1702 & paintings of a guillotine like machine used in Nuremberg in the 1500's.

However, it was Dr. Guillotin (Deputy of Paris) who on Oct. 10th, 1789 proposed to the Constituent Assembly that all condemned criminals should be beheaded on the grounds of humanity &equality. Beheading was seen as by far the most humane method of execution at the time & was allowed to people of noble birth in many countries. Ordinary prisoners were slowly hanged, broken on the wheel or burnt at the stake. The idea of a standardised, quick & humane death was much more in line with revolutionary thinking.
The Constituent Assembly duly passed a decree making beheading the only form of execution on Mar. 25th 1792. There was a small problem to this, as was indicated by the then official executioner, Sanson, who pointed out the impracticality of executing all condemned persons by the sword. Beheading requires a skilled executioner with a lot of strength, a very steady hand and a good eye, if it is to sever the criminal's head with a single stroke. Sanson proved to be right, as during the Terror, the rate of executions reached staggering proportions, well beyond the capacity of the few skilled headsmen to carry out.
It was clear that some sort of machine was required. #popsiclestick #craftstick #craftstickart #handmade #beheading #historically #accurate #artistry #historian #miniture #dungeon #playset #frenchrevolution #modelmaking #engineering #madefromscratch #recyclablematerials #MarieAntoinette #fineart #stickart

Какая увлекательная игрушка... К ее создателю стоит присмотреться психиатрам.

Sympa, ça pourrait être pas mal de développer cette machine à taille réelle comme au bon vieux temps.
