Talk:Half-hanging

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The picture used as a depiction of half-hanging is used in Thomas Pakenham's book The Year of Liberty, The Great Irish Rebellion of 1798 as 'the rebel view of government policy', thus as satire of the government's actions, rather than as a literal depiction of things that happened. If Pakenham is right, I think this picture isn't appropriate for the article. The same picture is used in the same context in the article on the 1798 rebellion.
