The image captures his enigmatic persona, with a hand confidently placed on his hip and an intense gaze that hints at both danger and charm.

Dressed in stylish coats and hats, these bandits were known for their audacious robberies along the highways of England. The portrait exudes an air of mystery as it immortalizes this infamous outlaw. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege can be drawn to lives of crime and rebellion against societal norms. Through this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness the allure and intrigue surrounding these daring individuals who lived outside the boundaries of law. Their stories continue to captivate our imagination centuries later. This print is part of Peter Newark Pictures' collection, showcasing historical figures like William Parsons who left an indelible mark on society through their actions.
