The Toil and Death in Paris Guillotine Process
A Paris letter describes the ritualized preparation of condemned criminals for execution by guillotine. The warden and officials escort the prisoner to the toilet room, bind limbs, and parade him to the blade. The chain of actions culminates with the fall of the knife and the body sent to cemetery or to the medical faculty, with minimal posthumous handling.
