It gives us a window into all the skills of metal work and also it’s artistic value. Who would have thought that instruments of torture could be displayed as works of art but if you look at the aspect of art portraying the suffering of humanity, then this is indeed art in its best and noblest tradition. Thank you once again Gentle Author .

Love & Peace

I’m going to forward this column – and its mention of recreating the instruments of torture – to the man who created the crown that was buried with Richard III.
