EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 18th century print captures the daring exploits of two notorious highwaymen, John Everett and Richmond Bird, as they rob a coach on Hounslow Heath in 1720. The image, published circa 1725, depicts the moment of the crime, with the coach driver rearing his horse in fear as the masked robbers approach, brandishing their swords and demanding the passengers' valuables. John Everett, also known as "Flintlock Jack" or "Jack Sheppard of the Heath," was a prolific thief and highwayman who operated in the Middlesex area of London. He was known for his daring escapes from prison, earning him a reputation as a Robin Hood figure among some. Richmond Bird, or "Dick Turpin's Brother," was another infamous highwayman who roamed the roads of England during this period. The print offers a glimpse into the lawless world of the highwaymen, who preyed on travelers along the roads and highways of England during the 18th century. The image is a reminder of the danger and uncertainty that accompanied travel during this time, as well as the allure of the romanticized figure of the highwayman in popular culture. The print is also a testament to the rich history of crime and criminal justice in 18th century England, a time when the punishment for highway robbery was typically death by hanging. Despite the risks, the lure of easy money and the thrill of the chase continued to draw men like Everett and Bird to the life of the highwayman. This print is an invaluable resource for historians and students of criminal history, offering a rare and vivid depiction of life on the roads of 18th century England. It is a reminder of the complex and often contradictory nature of crime and criminality during this period, and the enduring fascination that these figures continue to hold for us today.
