I think the use of black and white is brilliant there because it means you focus on the two faces. The stern teacher who is single-mided in her task of punishing naughty behaviour in the errant schoolgirl. The schoolgirl trying to fight back tears and control herself through a very painful ordeal which, however much it may be justified, is pushing the girl's limits. We don't know what error the girl has made and we don't know too much about the punishment. We know that the girl's skirt is turned up - maybe she's been allowed to keep her panties on but maybe not. Maybe she's feeling the leather strap blazing across her bottom cheeks or perhaps in this case her offence is such that the schoolmistress has decided that only the traditional cane will suffice. We do know that the girl is finding the experience extremely painful and awful, and that it may go on for some time as there is no sign of her chastiser feeling obliged to show her any mercy.

An excellent choice.

Great picture. Judging by the stance of the 'teacher' I reckon it's the cane this poor girl is feeling on her behind.
Beautiful. The look of agonized look of shame on the girl's face is priceless.
Yes, love this photo & naturally your Blog is always so authentic, diverse & thought provoking James.
I love black n white photos, being born 1959, when the world was in black n white for real, ha-ha! Although my alabaster-white botty was all too red, all too often in the 1960s. I guess at age 61, all lovely things & memories are vintage, already. But I do feel 21, again!
These realistic photos, although school focused, translated well into the corporal punishment I received in my childhood, when freedoms were scarce & the usual, traditional, Southern Christian values were strongly enforced, i.e. with mother's cane on my bare botty!! Oh my! Whoopings were Hell, as this photo illustrates.
I found these type of photos & stories from Janus, Roue, London Life, Phoenix & others most compelling when I first discovered them in the Atlanta stores, as a student, in the mid to late 1970s. Some of the mother/daughter bare bottom canings were so realistic, they blew my mind. Even the school scenes were very sombre & authentic too, even though in real life, CP at school with the paddle was over clothes.
I never gotten punished at school in Georgia, but whippings with the cane from a young age on our bare buttocks were normal for my younger sister & me at home. Mom was loving & kind but very stern & severe when she gotten cross! I do stress that all our panties-down canings ("switchings" as mom said) were all completely harmless & part of good parenting in my opinion.
All my besties, in my Church & Bible Class gotten whoopings from their parents with their 1950s dresses hoisted & their panties pulled down. It was all advocated by the Church folk & y'all as normal, James.
The leather strap/belt was the usual implement for parental chastisement in our 'hood, but my mother convinced a few other strict, religious moms to buy a cane for their naughty daughters' tender, bare botties as a result of the coffee mornings hosted at our house...when mother would actually show some of the moms the rattan cane ("the hornets nest", sis & me called it) in our downstairs cupboard. Oh my!
Why, it was not even embarrassing James - it was just Southern suburban family values & life !!! And not much has changed today since the 1960s, Thank the Lord. Why for sure, PC is not always adopted or accepted by the "silent majority".
This photo illustrates this, you can almost feel it - I always gotten to say that a loving spanking from mom (from my own mother notably!!) should feel like a big kettle of boiling water is slowly poured all over your sensitive, bare botty skin!! Albeit a spanking is completely harmless & part of loving discipline.
My two daughters would concur, although it is now many years since their knickers gotten pulled down for my cane when they were naughty growing up. A baker's dozen on the bare backside was the only punishment in our house. Very harsh but very fair in my traditional, Southern viewpoint, James (& exactly like my own childhood whoopings). Oh my! And no naughty steps or wishy-washy timeout nonsense, already. They are now in their mid 30s & are staunchly pro-spanking.
Thanks a big bunch for your amazing, detailed, varied Blog, James!
Kind regards,
