I rise from the dead after my last exam of the summer semester! Wiiith the winter semester starting next week, oh hell :'D
I checked the book I have, but it did not say anything about effigy-punishments. I did some google searching after that and found this paper that someone wrote on the topic, but since it apparently covers every kind of effigy-punishment from antiquity to the 19th century, I'm not sure the specific question would be answered.
I also tried the Handwörterbuch zur deutschen Rechtsgeschichte which lists a variety of effigy-related punishments, one of which being what I assume was done in Peter's case. It does not list what was done with the portraits, but it could be kind of interesting anyway. Awkward translation of law-German coming in:
"7. Name notice, deserter's sheet, painted bust on high war gallows was known in military criminal law from the 17th to the 19th century, not as a replacement for forfeited corporal punishments of the deserter but as a deterring honor punishment comparable to edictal citation"
The Original: "7. Namensanschlag, Deserteursblech, gemaltes Brustbild am hohen Kriegsgalgen kannte das Militärstrafrecht vom 17. bis ins 19. Jh., jedoch nicht als Ersatz für verwirkte Leibesstrafen des Fahnenflüchtigen, sondern als abschreckende Ehrenstrafe vergleichbar der → Ediktalzitation"
My search continues. I really want to know this now :'D
