EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures the whimsical yet alarming scene of John Mytton, the notorious 18th-century character known as Mytton as Humphrey or Mytton as Wayman, holding up the doctor and clergyman after a dining engagement at Halston House. Dated between 1796 and 1834, this humorous vignette presents an unexpected turn of events, as the dapper gentlemen are startled by their ostensible host, disguised in the garb of a smock-wearing highwayman. Mytton, a local squire from Apperley, Worcestershire, was renowned for his eccentricities and love for pranks. This particular escapade, which has become the stuff of local legend, involved inviting guests to dine at his estate, only to ambush them upon their departure. The doctor and clergyman, unsuspecting victims of Mytton's antics, would have been both terrified and amused by the encounter. Mytton's choice of disguise as a highwayman adds an element of danger and intrigue to the scene. Nimrod, the name he adopted for these escapades, only served to heighten the sense of mystery and adventure. The print, with its lively composition and vivid details, effectively conveys the surprise, terror, and ultimately, the joke that was Mytton's modus operandi. This scene offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the eccentricities and mischievous spirit of a bygone era. The print serves as a reminder that even in the most ordinary of situations, there is always room for a little lark.
