EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the daring exploits of the notorious highwayman John Cottington, also known as Mulled Sack, as he robs an army pay wagon on Shotover Hill near Oxford in the year 1635. The image depicts Cottington, dressed in a long coat and tricorn hat, casually leaning against the wagon with a confident smirk, as his accomplices, disguised as soldiers, approach from the shadows. The wagon, laden with gold and silver coins, is shown spilling over with the stolen treasure. Cottington and his gang successfully relieved the pay wagon of an estimated 4,000 pounds, a significant sum in that era. However, their criminal enterprise did not go unnoticed for long. The relentless pursuit by the authorities eventually led to Cottington's capture in 1656, when he was hanged at the age of 45. This historical print, circa 1635, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of highwaymen and the daring crimes that captivated the public imagination during this period. The print is a poignant reminder of the risks and rewards of a life in crime, and the inevitability of the consequences that came with such a lifestyle. John Cottington, or Mulled Sack, remains a figure of intrigue in the annals of Oxfordshire history, and this print serves as a testament to his audacious exploits. The image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is not to be used for commercial purposes.
