1880 Armor Australian Bandit Crime Desperado Gunfighter Helmet Kelly
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the late 19th century and introduced to one of Australia's most notorious figures - Edward (Ned) Kelly. Known as an Australian bandit, Kelly is depicted wearing his homemade armor shortly before his capture in this line engraving from 1880. The image showcases Kelly's ingenuity and determination as he stands proudly donning his unique armor, which he crafted himself. The helmet, a crucial part of his protective gear, adds an air of mystery to the already enigmatic figure. It serves as a symbol of both defiance and resilience against the forces that sought to bring him down. Kelly's story is one filled with intrigue and controversy. A gunfighter and desperado by trade, he became infamous for his crimes that challenged authority during a time when lawlessness was rampant in Australia. This engraving captures the essence of a man who refused to be tamed by societal norms or confined within conventional boundaries. With its intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this line engraving offers us a glimpse into history while also immortalizing Ned Kelly's legacy as an iconic figure in Australian folklore. Through this print from The Granger Collection in New York, we can appreciate not only the artistry but also the significance of capturing such moments that continue to captivate our imagination centuries later.
