EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Jack and his accomplice Blueskin rob Mr Wood and his wife in their bedroom" we are transported back to the 18th century, a time of infamous criminals and daring heists. The illustration is taken from William Harrison Ainsworth's novel, "Jack Sheppard: A Romance" which tells the semi-factual story of the notorious thief Jack Sheppard. The scene depicts a tense moment as Jack and Blueskin, both masked to conceal their identities, break into the bedroom of Mr Wood and his wife. With stealthy precision, they navigate through the darkness towards their unsuspecting victims. The room is dimly lit by moonlight streaming through a small window, adding an eerie atmosphere to this criminal act. As former employers turned targets for robbery, Mr Wood and his wife lie sound asleep, unaware of the impending danger that lurks just inches away from them. This image captures not only the audacity of these burglars but also highlights society's fascination with outlaws during this era. George Cruikshank's masterful etching skillfully portrays every detail - from the expressions on Jack and Blueskin's faces filled with determination to their careful movements as they search for valuable possessions. It serves as a reminder that even those who seem secure behind locked doors can fall victim to cunning thieves. This print offers us a glimpse into history while simultaneously reminding us of our enduring fascination with crime stories throughout centuries past.
