EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print, we are transported back in time to witness the legendary Dick Turpin tending to his loyal mare, Black Bess. Known as one of England's most infamous robbers and highwaymen, Turpin's daring escapades have become the stuff of romantic tales. Here, amidst a picturesque backdrop of nature and towering trees, we see Turpin offering a potion to revive his exhausted companion. The image captures the essence of both man and horse after an arduous journey. Turpin's attire reflects the fashion of the era with his distinctive hat and boots, while Black Bess stands resolute in her saddle. The wood engraving technique adds depth and texture to every detail, enhancing our connection with these historical figures. As we observe this scene frozen in time, it is impossible not to feel a sense of admiration for Turpin's audacity mixed with compassion for his faithful steed. This momentary pause allows us to glimpse into their lives beyond crime and adventure – reminding us that even outlaws can possess moments of tenderness towards their trusted companions. John Palmer skillfully brings together elements from history, nature, and human emotion through this remarkable print. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination surrounding Dick Turpin's exploits during the 18th century. Whether viewed as hero or villain, there is no denying that he left an indelible mark on English folklore – forever immortalized within this evocative artwork by John Palmer.
