EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Swift Nicks" before Charles the Second showcases an intriguing engraving by Paul Hardy. This remarkable artwork, part of a private collection, transports us back to a time when daring thieves and robbers roamed the English countryside. The image is an illustration for the book Half-Hours with the Highwaymen written by Charles Harper and published in 1908 by Chapman and Hall. Through this digitally cleaned reproduction, we can appreciate the intricate details of Hardy's work even more vividly. In this scene, we witness Swift Nicks, one of England's notorious highwaymen during the reign of King Charles II.
