EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the infamous train robbery by the notorious Frank and Jesse James Gang in 1879. In this color lithograph, created by an anonymous artist from the 19th century, we witness the audacious outlaws as they hold up an express car at gunpoint. The composition is filled with tension and drama as the gang members brandish their pistols, ready to seize whatever riches lie within that safe. The scene is set against a backdrop of a rugged North American landscape, emphasizing the daring nature of their criminal exploits. Frank James (1843-1915) and his younger brother Jesse James (1847-82) were prominent figures in the infamous James-Younger gang. Their brazen acts of raiding and armed robbery made them feared throughout America during this time period. This image serves as a reminder of both the lawlessness that plagued certain parts of America during this era and also our fascination with these antiheroes who became legends in their own right. It offers us a glimpse into an untamed past when thieves like Frank and Jesse James ruled over vast territories through sheer force. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to a time when danger lurked around every corner on the wild frontier. It stands as a testament to both our curiosity about these outlaws' lives and our enduring fascination with tales of adventure from America's past.
