I don't have a copy but there was a collection of torture instruments and ephemera put together in the mid nineteenth century by the Marquess of Shaftesbury or Queensbury (one of them, I don't remember the exact name.). The collection went on tour in the 1890's and a catalog was published.

It is my understanding that this collection was disbursed after a disastrous fire destroyed a good portion of it some years back.

This catalog was available about twenty years ago from a dealer (I forget who it was) and I would think it might be able to be found today.
