EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the legendary moment of Dick Turpin jumping over the Hornsey toll bar gate on his trusty steed, Black Bess. As one of England's most notorious highwaymen, Turpin's daring escapades have become the stuff of folklore and this image brings his thrilling story to life. In this fictionalized account by William Harrison Ainsworth, we witness Turpin defying authority and evading capture with a breathtaking leap. The intensity in Turpin's eyes reflects his determination to outwit the law while Black Bess showcases her remarkable agility and strength. Turpin is celebrated as a folk hero despite being a criminal, embodying both fearlessness and rebellion against societal norms. His exploits continue to captivate imaginations even centuries later. The toll bar gate serves as a symbol of confinement and control that Turpin effortlessly transcends. It represents not only physical barriers but also society's attempts to restrict freedom. This act of defiance becomes an emblematic moment in the highwayman's legacy. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this engraving transports us back to an era when criminals like Dick Turpin were romanticized figures who challenged authority at every turn. It reminds us that history is often shaped by those who dare to break free from convention, leaving an indelible mark on our collective imagination.
