EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century print captures the fear and trepidation that gripped travelers on the open roads during the height of the Highwaymen era in England. The image depicts two women, their faces etched with terror, being robbed and bound by a group of ruthless highwaymen in the fields near Kentish Town. The highwaymen, dressed in the traditional cloaks and tricorn hats, brandish swords and pistols, their eyes gleaming with malice and determination. The Highwaymen, or 'highway robbers,' were a notorious band of criminals who plied their trade on the open roads, preying on unsuspecting travelers. Their attacks were often brutal and violent, leaving their victims traumatized and in some cases, dead. The crime wave reached its peak in the 17th and 18th centuries, but lingered well into the 19th century, making travel on the open roads a dangerous proposition. This print serves as a stark reminder of the lawlessness and danger that once pervaded the English countryside. The women's helplessness and the highwaymen's brazenness underscore the harsh realities of life during this period. The print also highlights the importance of the rule of law and the need for protection from criminal elements, leading to the establishment of the Bow Street Runners, the first organized police force in London, in 1749. Despite the fear and danger, the image also exudes a certain romanticism and allure, with the women's elegant dresses and the highwaymen's dashing attire adding an element of intrigue and adventure to the scene. The print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into a time when the open road was a place of both beauty and danger.
