EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving by Thomas Molten, created in 1791, transports us to a scene of suspense and danger. Titled "House Breakers" the print depicts an unsettling intrusion into a Georgian home's intimate interior. In this dramatic composition, we witness a chilling burglary taking place within the confines of a bedroom. The husband and wife are abruptly awakened from their slumber as armed intruders invade their sanctuary. The tension is palpable as the couple finds themselves at the mercy of these audacious criminals. Molten's meticulous attention to detail brings this harrowing moment to life. From the expressions of fear on the victims' faces to the menacing presence of the burglars, every element contributes to an atmosphere charged with trepidation. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical threat but also explores themes of vulnerability and violation within domestic spaces. This print serves as a powerful reminder that even our most private sanctuaries can be shattered by external forces beyond our control. Displayed at The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London, this historical artifact offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on past crimes while appreciating Molten's artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this engrossing image, we are reminded that safety and security have always been paramount concerns for homeowners throughout history.
