EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hand-coloured engraving from the 19th century, we are transported back to a time of danger and adventure on the English highways. The scene depicts a notorious highwayman in action as he boldly confronts two unsuspecting travellers. With pistols drawn and a menacing gaze, he demands their valuables with his infamous cry: "Stand and deliver!". The artist skillfully captures the tension of the moment, as both horses rear up in fear while their riders desperately comply with the outlaw's demands. The detailed engravings bring to life every aspect of this thrilling encounter – from the flowing manes of the horses to the expressions of shock on the faces of both criminals and victims. This print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when lawlessness reigned supreme on England's roads. It serves as a reminder that danger lurked around every corner for those who dared to travel alone or unarmed. Yet it also highlights our enduring fascination with these audacious figures who defied societal norms. Whether you appreciate it for its historical significance or simply admire its artistic craftsmanship, this hand-coloured engraving is sure to captivate viewers young and old alike. Step into this dramatic scene and imagine yourself caught in the crosshairs between criminality and courage – where survival depended on quick thinking and nerves of steel.
