EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the thrilling era of Dick Turpin, a notorious rogue and highwayman. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures Turpin's daring ride to York with incredible detail. In this scene, we see Turpin astride his trusty horse, desperately fleeing from the clutches of justice. The tension is palpable as he jumps over obstacles and navigates through treacherous terrain. His face reveals a mix of determination and fear as he evades capture at all costs. The composition skillfully highlights the contrast between light and shadow, adding depth to the image. As our eyes wander across the print, we notice every intricate line etched into Turpin's cart and horse. It is clear that no expense was spared in creating this masterpiece. The presence of a hangman's noose serves as a chilling reminder of Turpin's criminal activities. Yet despite his wrongdoings, there is an undeniable allure surrounding him – perhaps it stems from his audacity or his ability to outsmart those who pursued him relentlessly. This print transports us back to a time when danger lurked around every corner and lawlessness reigned supreme on England's roads. It invites us to delve into history while marveling at the artistic talent that brought this momentous event to life once more.
