EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary figure of Robin Hood in an unexpected role - that of a potter. Created around 1920 by the talented artist Walter Crane, this vibrant colour lithograph showcases his unique interpretation of the iconic outlaw. In this scene, Robin Hood is depicted skillfully crafting pottery with great attention to detail. Dressed in traditional medieval attire, he seamlessly blends into the forest surroundings where he and his band of merry men seek refuge from the oppressive sheriffs and their henchmen. The image offers a glimpse into Robin Hood's resourcefulness and versatility as he employs disguise not only to evade capture but also to sustain himself and his comrades. His trusty longbow rests nearby, serving as a reminder of his exceptional archery skills which have become synonymous with his legend. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time to Nottinghamshire's lush green forests where English folklore comes alive. The composition exudes an air of mystery and adventure, inviting us to imagine ourselves amidst Robin Hood's daring escapades. This particular lithograph was part of a publication titled "Robin Hood and the Men of the Greenwood" published by TC & EC Jack circa 1920. Now preserved within a private collection, it serves as both a testament to Crane's artistic prowess and our enduring fascination with one of England's most beloved folk heroes.
