EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Paul Hardy depicts a dramatic scene from the novel "The Smugglers" by Charles G Harper. The owlers, or smugglers, are seen chasing customs officers into the town of Rye in England. The tension and action in this image are palpable as the two groups engage in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.
Hardy's skillful rendering of this historical moment captures the essence of smuggling during the 20th century in England. The black and white composition adds to the sense of intrigue and danger surrounding this illegal activity.
The owlers, with their determined expressions and swift movements, convey a sense of defiance against authority. On the other hand, the customs officers appear frantic as they try to evade capture by these cunning criminals.
Overall, this print serves as a reminder of a time when smuggling was rampant along England's coasts, fueling crime and criminality. It is a snapshot of history that sheds light on an era filled with secrecy and deception.
As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the thrilling chase between smugglers and law enforcement officials in Rye. Hardy's attention to detail and storytelling ability make this artwork truly captivating for viewers seeking a glimpse into England's past.
