New Castle County is the largest county in Delaware, USA, covering approximately 505 square miles (1,308 km²). It is situated in the northeastern part of the state, bordering Pennsylvania to the north and west, and Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, to the northwest. The county's name originates from William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, who was also a Quaker and a prominent figure in Delaware's early history.

The image is a historical photograph in black and white. It appears to depict a scene of public punishment or execution, as suggested by the wooden stocks in which two individuals are bound. The stocks are elevated on a platform, and the individuals are secured with their arms and legs restrained to the structure. The setting seems to be outdoors, with a stone wall in the background and some vegetation visible above it. There are a few onlookers in the background, observing the scene. One person is standing near the stocks, while another is seated on a chair, and a third person is standing further back. The attire of the onlookers suggests the photograph is from a historical period, likely the 19th century, based on the clothing styles. The overall tone of the image is somber and reflective of a time when such public punishments were common. The photograph captures a moment of social and legal consequence, with the focus on the individuals in the stocks and the onlookers observing the scene.
