The Brigand Attacking Travellers - A Glimpse into the Perilous Roads of the 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving from the 19th century, titled "The Brigand Attacking Travellers" takes us back in time to an era filled with danger and uncertainty. The image showcases a dramatic scene where a group of unsuspecting travellers falls victim to a ruthless brigand. Armed with a pistol and knife, this criminal embodies menace as he robs his helpless victims on a desolate road. The tension is palpable as each traveller faces their own perilous fate at gunpoint. Their expressions convey fear and desperation, highlighting the vulnerability of those who dared to venture through treacherous territories. Amidst this chaos, horses play an integral role in amplifying the sense of urgency. Racehorses, ponies, shire horses - all become witnesses to this act of highway robbery. These majestic animals symbolize both freedom and captivity as they are held captive by their riders while witnessing human cruelty unfold before them. Through intricate engravings, we witness not only the crime itself but also glimpse into life during that period - where travel was fraught with dangers lurking around every corner. This print serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there are still echoes of these past perils that continue to shape our perception of safety today. As we delve into this historical artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' private collection, it invites us to reflect
