EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century embroidered silk panel depicts the legendary tale of Dick Turpin's Last Ride to York and the tragic end of his notorious partnership with his beloved horse, Bonnie Bess. Dick Turpin, an infamous English highwayman, was known for his daring escapes and robberies on the open road. The panel captures the moment of Turpin's final ride, as he and Bess make their way towards York, pursued relentlessly by a group of determined lawmen. The intricate details of the embroidery bring the scene to life, with the vibrant colors of the countryside contrasting against the dark, ominous clouds in the sky. Turpin, dressed in his trademark riding coat and tricorn hat, leans low over Bess's neck, urging her onward with a firm hand. The lawmen, clad in red coats and wielding swords, are hot on their heels, their determined expressions etched onto their faces. In the background, the city of York looms large, its walls and towers a reminder of the safety and security that Turpin and Bess are fleeing from. The panel's intricate border features elaborate floral and geometric designs, adding to its overall beauty and historical significance. The story of Dick Turpin and Bonnie Bess has captured the imaginations of generations, and this stunning embroidered silk panel is a testament to the enduring power of this fascinating chapter in English history. The panel's intricate details and rich colors bring the tale to life in a way that is both captivating and timeless.
