A large crowd surrounds a platform on which victims are tortured by means of racks and crosses. Engraving with etching by A. Walker. Wellcome Collection. Public Domain Mark. Source: Wellcome Collection.
The victims tortured and executed are presumably Jesuits suffering after the expulsion of their order from Portugal in 1759
One victim is tied to a post while the other is broken on a cross surrounded by wooden constructions bearing the corpses of tortured victims covered with a sheet of hide and surrounded by priestss carrying crucifixes
