EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the moment of daring defiance as the notorious 17th century English highwayman, James Whitney, attacks Mr. Hull, a money-lender, on Hounslow Heath in 1694. The heath, located in present-day London, was a notorious hotspot for criminal activity, and Whitney, also known as "The Highwayman of Hounslow," was one of its most notorious residents. In the print, Whitney, dressed in the traditional attire of a highwayman - a tricorn hat, long coat, and mask - can be seen leaping from his horse, brandishing a sword in one hand and a pistol in the other. Mr. Hull, a portly man in a fur-trimmed coat and hat, is shown tied backwards onto his own horse, with his hands bound behind him. The terrified expression on his face speaks volumes about the power dynamic at play. The image is a testament to the lawlessness and danger that characterized life on the heath during this period. Highwaymen like James Whitney preyed on travelers, robbing them of their valuables and often leaving them for dead. Mr. Hull, as a money-lender, was likely a target due to his wealth and the perceived vulnerability of his occupation. Despite the danger, the image also conveys a sense of excitement and adventure. The wild, untamed landscape of Hounslow Heath provides the perfect backdrop for this dramatic scene, and the bold colors and dynamic composition of the print make it a captivating work of art. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the rule of law was tenuous at best, and the line between criminal and hero was often blurred.
