EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that transports us back to the 18th century. The artwork, created by Maurice Greiffenhagen and featured in The Sphere on December 28,1901, captures a dramatic moment of suspense and danger. In this scene, set against the backdrop of an idyllic English countryside, we witness a group of well-dressed individuals traveling in a luxurious carriage known as a post chaise. They are joyfully en route to celebrate Christmas when their peaceful journey takes an unexpected turn. Suddenly, emerging from the shadows, appears a menacing figure - the highwayman. With his face concealed beneath a mask and brandishing his weapon with intent, he demands their valuables. Panic ensues as fear grips both passengers and horses alike. Greiffenhagen's attention to detail brings this thrilling encounter to life. From the intricate design of the carriage itself to the expressions of shock on each person's face, every element contributes to our immersion in this tense moment. This artwork serves as a reminder that even during times of celebration and joyous reunions with loved ones, danger can lurk just around the corner. It invites us to reflect on how precious our moments together truly are and reminds us never to take them for granted. As we gaze upon "A Christmas visit interrupted by a highwayman" we are transported into an era where crime was rife but also reminded of humanity's resilience in overcoming adversity - even during festive occasions such as Christmas.
