1845 Bandit Crime Criminal Criminals Flies Green Wood High Way Highway Man Hurrah Outlaw Outlaws Song Songs Thee Waving


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the 19th century, transports us back in time to an era of romance and rebellion. The image showcases three dashing highwaymen, each in high spirits as they sing their songs by the side of a winding road. The first number, "Hurrah for the Road," resonates with their unapologetic love for the open highway. The second, "I'll ask the Sylph who round thee flies," speaks of a mystical connection with nature, while the third, "Waving Greenwood Tree," is a tribute to their outlaw brotherhood. The men, dressed in their distinctive attire, exude an air of merriment and camaraderie, their faces alight with the joy of living freely on the road. The lush greenery and the waving tree in the background add to the idyllic setting, creating a stark contrast to the criminal undertones of their lifestyle. The year is 1845, a time when the world was changing rapidly, and the traditional ways of life were being challenged. Yet, these highwaymen, with their songs and their waving tree, stood defiantly against the tide, celebrating their freedom and their connection to the land. This photograph print is a testament to the enduring allure of the highwayman, the romanticized figure of the criminal who roamed the roads, living by his own rules and singing his own songs. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of music and companionship were enough to make even the most notorious of outlaws happy.
