View of a man in the moment before he is beheaded, kneeling forward with his arms behind his back and his wrists bound with rope. An executioner stands over him with a machete raised above his head, and an assistant stands beside him holding a rope attached to the prisoner's waist. A crowd has gathered around them to watch.
