EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment in the early 19th century when a daring highwayman holds up a stagecoach under the cover of night. The vivid colors of this lithograph bring to life the intense atmosphere as the outlaw, armed with pistols, confronts his unsuspecting victims. Bathed in moonlight, the scene is shrouded in mystery and danger. The composition showcases the skilled craftsmanship of an unknown artist from that era, whose work now resides in a private collection. Peter Newark Pictures has made this remarkable piece available for all to appreciate, as it falls out of copyright. In this dramatic image, we witness an ambush unfolding before our eyes. The terrified travellers inside their carriages are at the mercy of this audacious robber who fearlessly fires his weapon. The horses stand frozen with fear while their owners face imminent danger. This depiction reminds us of a time when criminals like these roamed freely on horseback, instilling fear among innocent people traveling along highways. It serves as a reminder that even amidst breathtaking landscapes and serene countryside scenes, crime lurked around every corner. As we gaze upon this historic artwork by Bridgeman Images, we cannot help but feel transported back to an era filled with lawlessness and uncertainty. It stands as both a testament to human resilience and an enduring fascination with tales from our past.
