Hans Braun Indeed


Some of Hans Braun's best drawings appeared in the book "Indeed", said to be an account of girlish corporal punishments seen by one Edith Cantor.


Once again the girls in the background are also worthy of study.  Just look at those jutty bottoms in those tight and close fitting drawers.


The full drawing catches the moment when a second girl has just been caned and her drawers pulled down in front of the crowded hall.  The first girl is crying and rubbing her well punished bottom, and seems to have been birched for a second offense that term.  The third girl is about to be taken out for hers, having heard the cries of the first two miscreants and the swish of the birch and cane.

Hans Braun


Hans Braun was a great CP artist and his renderings of the female bottom, clothed and unclothed, are unsurpassed.  Just look at those here and in the posting below.  However, he could not draw faces very well at all, as some of his drawings testify.  Hence most are rear views.  Nevertheless they are to my mind very evocative, inviting us to build a story around them.  This one is a judicial setting with the girl tied to a beam waiting for punishment.  Her place in the line is vacant, the girls to the left having already been dealt with and those to the right are waiting their turn.  The girls in the background to some of his drawings often merit closer attention, as here.
Notice the bulging shorts on these girls.  Braun's drawings often focus on the tightly clothed female bottom, as here.
