EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the legendary meeting between two infamous highwaymen, Dick Turpin and Tom King. The image depicts a moment frozen in time, as these daring outlaws come face to face on a desolate road. Both men exude an air of danger and intrigue, their pistols held firmly in hand. Dick Turpin, known for his audacious exploits throughout 18th century England, stands tall with his trusty steed Black Bess by his side. His rugged appearance and fearless demeanor make it clear why he became such a folk hero among the common people. Tom King, another notorious figure of the era, matches Turpin's intensity with equal measures of confidence. These two criminals share a mutual respect as they meet under the watchful eyes of their horses. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and open fields, emphasizing the wild nature of their chosen profession. It is evident that both men are well-versed in evading capture and thriving within this dangerous world. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Howard Pyle's collection, we are transported back to an era where lawlessness reigned supreme on England's roads. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with these charismatic bandits who defied societal norms and captured our collective imagination.
