Dressed Fairfax Mull Named Parliament Pickpocket Rump Sack Steals Trooper Valuable Watch


EDITORS COMMENTS
"Mull Sack, the notorious arch pickpocket of the 19th century, is depicted in this daring image as he audaciously steals a valuable watch from Lady Fairfax. Dressed as a trooper, Mull Sack blends in with the crowded room, unnoticed by the unsuspecting victim and those around them. Lady Fairfax, wife of the then leader of the Rump Parliament, is engrossed in conversation, her guard momentarily down. The watch, a symbol of wealth and status, is about to become Mull Sack's latest prize. The audacity of Mull Sack's theft is a testament to his skill and cunning, making this moment a classic example of the cat-and-mouse game between the criminal underworld and the authorities. This photograph, captured in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of crime and deception, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the criminal underworld." Mary Evans Picture Library/Mary Evans Prints Online holds an extensive collection of historical photographs, and this image is a prime example of the intriguing stories that can be found within. This photograph is not to be used for commercial purposes, but rather for educational and research purposes only. The photograph's rich detail and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to any collection focused on the history of crime and criminal justice. The image invites us to ponder the complexities of human nature, the allure of the criminal underworld, and the ongoing struggle between law and order.
