EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a scene of danger and stealth. Entitled "Attack on the captain of the Rose" this c1880 engraving from Cassells History of the United States transports us to a time when peril lurked around every corner. In this monochromatic masterpiece, we witness an unsuspecting captain walking along a deserted street. Little does he know that danger is stalking him, as two shadowy figures close in on their prey. The concept of crime and criminal activity is vividly portrayed through the intense expressions on their faces. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere of tension and suspense as we are left wondering about the fate that awaits our protagonist. The detailed depiction of his surroundings - a rambling lane lined with old buildings - adds to the authenticity and historical significance of this artwork. As we delve into this print, it serves as a reminder of America's tumultuous past, where lawlessness often prevailed. It offers us a glimpse into an era when survival meant being constantly aware of one's surroundings. Through Edmund Ollier's masterful touch, this print not only showcases his artistic prowess but also invites viewers to imagine themselves transported back in time to experience firsthand what life was like during those treacherous times in American history.
