EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dating back to approximately 1894, depicts a daring French highwayman in the midst of an audacious attack on a passing coach. The highwayman, dressed in the traditional attire of the 19th century outlaw, has surprised the unsuspecting driver at point-blank range, with his gun fired and smoke billowing from the barrel. The horse, startled by the sudden commotion, rears up, adding to the chaos of the scene. Highwaymen were a common threat to travelers in France during the 16th to 18th centuries, preying on those who dared to venture along the country's busy roads. However, by the late 19th century, the era of the highwayman had largely come to an end, making this photograph a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past. The image captures the raw excitement and danger of the moment, with the highwayman's intense focus on his target and the driver's frozen expression of fear. The use of a photograph adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era of crime and adventure on the French highways. Despite the passage of time, the image remains a captivating reminder of the daring exploits of the French highwaymen and the risks they took to prey on unsuspecting travelers. This photograph is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of crime, France, or the 19th century.
